Members, carers, and volunteers from Wymondham dementia support group have raised more than £8,000 through an inspiring month-long campaign of “positive action” this September.

The initiative, titled 20 Days of Positive Action, saw participants take on a wide range of activities to raise funds and awareness for those living with dementia and their families. From walking, cycling, and running to hula hooping, painting, and even bird watching, every challenge was designed to promote wellbeing, connection, and community spirit.

We concluded the week with a celebration event, where certificates were presented to everyone who took part. Organisers praised the dedication and enthusiasm shown by all involved, describing it as “a shining example of our community spirit in action.”

A spokesperson for the group said:

“We’re incredibly proud of what our members and volunteers have achieved. The creativity and commitment they’ve shown have not only raised vital funds for our charity but also helped raise awareness of dementia and the importance of staying active and connected.”

Funds raised from the campaign will go directly toward supporting our services, helping provide activities, advice, and companionship for those affected and their carers.
