Richmond Villages Willaston Walk 30 Miles for Dementia UK

Residents, staff, and four-legged friends support a worthy cause.

Richmond Villages Willaston have walked 30 Miles in September in support of Dementia UK. Throughout the month, residents, staff, and even their furry companions put on their walking shoes to cover 30 miles, all in the name of raising funds and awareness for Dementia UK—a charity that plays a crucial role in supporting families affected by dementia.

Dementia UK provides expert advice and support to families and individuals living with dementia, and Richmond Villages Willaston is thrilled to back their efforts by turning this challenge into a community event. The initiative also encourages fitness, socialisation, and fun amongst participants.

“Our community is passionate about coming together for causes that matter, and this event is a perfect way for us to contribute to a charity that is close to many of our hearts,” states Claire, Admin Manager, Richmond Villages Willaston.

Participants took part in daily walks around the village grounds and surrounding areas, their progress has been tracked with daily pictures and updates on their Facebook page.

“We’re incredibly proud to support Dementia UK with this challenge. It’s not just about the miles we walked, but the difference we hope to make in the lives of those facing dementia,” added the team.
