Walking for a Cause: Join Us at Lydiard Park to Support Alzheimer’s Society

At Right at Home Swindon, we’re always looking for ways to give back to our community and support causes close to our hearts. This summer, we’re proud to be organising a community walk through Lydiard Park on Thursday 15th August, in aid of Alzheimer’s Society – and we’d love for you to join us.

This event isn’t just about getting our steps in. It’s about raising money and awareness for a cause that touches the lives of so many of our clients, families, and neighbours.

Why Alzheimer’s Society?

Alzheimer’s Society is the UK’s leading dementia charity. They offer vital support to people living with dementia and fund research into better care, treatments and understanding of the condition. Their work helps individuals and families navigate incredibly difficult journeys with compassion and dignity.

At Right at Home, many of the people we support live with Alzheimer’s or other types of dementia. We see the challenges they face, but also the strength, resilience and love that surrounds them. Supporting Alzheimer’s Society is our way of standing with them, and doing something meaningful together.

What’s Happening and When?

We’ll be heading to Lydiard Park, one of Swindon’s most beautiful green spaces, for a gentle walk on Thursday 15th August. The route will be confirmed closer to the time, but it will be a relaxed and inclusive walk suitable for all ages and abilities. Whether you’re a seasoned walker or just fancy some fresh air for a good cause, you’ll be very welcome.

It’s more than just a stroll – it’s a show of support and solidarity. We’ll be walking side by side as a community to raise money for people affected by dementia

We’re aiming to raise £150 for Alzheimer’s Society. It might not seem like much, but every single pound helps fund life-changing support services and research. Whether you can join us for the walk or simply donate online, your contribution will make a difference.

If you would like to support our fundraiser, you can donate via our JustGiving page.

How You Can Get Involved

There are a few ways you can help us reach our goal:

  • Join us for the walk at Lydiard Park on 15th August. Bring your friends, your family, or even your dog.
  • Share our fundraiser with others who might like to support the cause.
  • Donate whatever you can. No amount is too small.

If you are interested in taking part or want to find out more, feel free to get in touch. We’d love to hear from you.

Together, We Can Make a Difference

This walk is about more than raising money. It is a way for us to come together as a community and show our support for those living with dementia. Every step we take is a step towards better understanding, better care, and better lives.

We hope to see you at Lydiard Park on 15th August. Let’s walk together and make an impact – one step at a time.
