🚶‍♀️ WALK FOR DEMENTIA – 14th September 🚶‍♂️

We're taking part in the Walk for Dementia 2025 in support of Dementia Support Hampshire & IOW — a brilliant local charity that’s very close to our hearts.

Dementia touches so many families, including ours, and we're walking to help raise awareness and funds for the amazing work this team does every day in our community.

If you’d like to support us, you can find more info or donate here (no pressure at all, just sharing if you feel called to):

👉 https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/walk-for-dementia-2025?utm_medium=CA&utm_source=CL

Thanks for reading and for all the encouragement — every step makes a difference. 💚

Every year hundreds of local people walk to make a difference for people living with dementia in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. You can walk with us at our Warsash Walk, join our New Milton Mini Walk, or walk your walk your way!

Let's make sure we're all looking out for older loved ones who may be more at risk in the heat.

Heat exhaustion and heatstroke can come on quickly - knowing the signs and how to help can make all the difference.

Stay cool, stay safe, and let's care for one another this summer ☀️

With temperatures rising this weekend, it’s important to stay safe in the heat, especially for older adults who may be more vulnerable to heatstroke.

If someone shows signs of heat exhaustion or heatstroke, here’s how to help them cool down.

Let’s look out for each other this summer 💚

A Special Delivery to QA’s Neonatal Unit 💕🧶

On Friday, we had the pleasure of visiting the Neonatal Unit at Queen Alexandra Hospital to drop off some beautiful, handmade knitted garments on behalf of our wonderful friends from the Wallington Crafters Group.

We first met this talented group at a local networking event, where they were inspired by our fidget mits and began brainstorming new patterns they could create. During our chat, they shared that they sometimes struggled to deliver their lovely creations as often as they'd like.

We’ve since built a lovely connection with the team at QA and were more than happy to offer our support by delivering these special items on their behalf — marking the start of a heartfelt friendship with such a creative and kind hearted community.

Thank you to the Wallington Crafters for their generosity and beautiful work — and to the amazing team at QA for everything they do. 💛

🌟 We love hearing feedback from our clients and their families! 🌟

It’s always so rewarding to hear how much of a difference our care makes. One family recently shared how grateful they are for the companionship and support we provide to their mum, who is living with Alzheimer’s.

They told us how much joy their mum gets from her visits – and how she hasn’t laughed this much in years 💜

We’re proud to deliver a service that’s not only professional, but filled with kindness, patience, and warmth.

👉 If someone you love needs extra support at home, we’re here to help.
