We’re almost there! 🌟

Our amazing team has been walking their way through 62 miles this October — and they’re nearly at the finish line! 🏃‍♀️👟💪

With just under 20 miles left each and 8 days to go, we’re so proud of everyone’s effort and dedication ❤️

Every step brings us closer to our goal — if you’d like to show your support, you can donate via the link below 👇

Thank you for cheering us on! 🥰

Hi there, This October, I’m walking 62 miles for Dementia UK – a cause close to my heart. Just £10 could pay for the telephone costs of two families calling its free Dementia Helpline, so any support would be appreciated. Thank you so much!

What We've Been Up To at Galgorm! 🌟

Our Interactive Storytelling session took us all the way to Turkey 🇹🇷 without leaving our cosy lounge! Residents sampled Turkish tea, Turkish delights and other traditional treats while sharing stories and learning about Turkish culture.

In our baking corner, the delicious smells didn’t stop:
🥥 Raspberry ruffles
🧀 Cheese & ham puffs
🍫 Nutella puffs
🍌 Banoffee pie

We also enjoyed a cheerful music sing-along and quiz with residents belting out favourites and testing their trivia knowledge 🎶🧠

Meanwhile, our knitting club kept busy with needles clicking and conversation flowing 🧶

There’s always something to look forward to here at Galgorm 💛
