🧠💜 World Alzheimer’s Day & World Gratitude Day – 21st September 💜🧠

Today, we honour those living with dementia, their families, and the incredible carers who support them every day.

At Trinity Hospice, we’re proud to offer specialist dementia support through our Admiral Nurse, in partnership with Dementia UK. This unique service provides one-to-one guidance, practical solutions, and emotional support to help families live positively with dementia, even during palliative care.

Our dementia-friendly In-patient Unit is designed to help patients feel safe and comfortable, with:
✨ Colour-coded rooms
✨ Dementia-friendly signage
✨ Murals of local scenes for joyful reflection
✨ Special clocks to aid orientation

💡 Did you know?
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, accounting for around 60–70% of cases worldwide. It affects memory, thinking, and behaviour — but with the right support, families can navigate the journey with confidence and compassion.

On World Gratitude Day, we also want to say a heartfelt thank you to all the carers — family members, friends, and professionals — who give so much of themselves to support those living with dementia. Your love and dedication make a world of difference. 💙

💪 Mud, sweat and cheers – THEY DID IT! 💚

A huge well done to our amazing Trinity Hospice Fundraising Team who were part of a group of 30 participants and took on Born Survivor this weekend in Gisburn – and absolutely smashed it! 🏃‍♀️🌧️

This wasn’t just any challenge – it was 12km of pure grit, with 28 obstacles designed by Royal Marines, and the fastest obstacle slide in the world (35mph straight into muddy water! 😱💦).

Teams raising money for Trinity Hospice included RNS Publications, Tandem Bank, HMP Legends from Kirkham Prison, the Gally Twins and the Seaside Sparklers.

Together, they’ve raised over £13,000 - with sponsorships still rolling in! 🙌 Thank you so much 💚
