Lois Wolffe's mum was struggling with the enforced isolation of lockdown and joined her daughter in a daily creative initiative, the 100 Days Project. Lois's mum was formally diagnosed with dementia in 2021 and never completed the project. Lois took inspiration from her mum's artist background by embroidering her life on a smock to encourage people to talk more openly about dementia. Lois has been nominated for Creative Fundraiser of the year in the 2023 GoCardless JustGiving Awards.

Michael's Grandad was diagnosed with vascular dementia 7 years ago and sadly passed away in February of this year. in dedication, Michael retraced his Grandad's steps by walking from Cardenden in Fife to Raphoe in County Donegaal. This was completed over 7 days covering a staggering 230 miles and more than 500,000 steps. Michael explains his inspirational story:

A sponsored challenge isn’t just a great way to raise money – it can also be a life-changing experience. Ann’s parents both died with dementia in 2001. Since then, Ann has been raising funds for Alzheimer Scotland and campaigning to improve understanding of dementia. Ann took part in a four day, 50km Sahara treck and describes the experience. 

2023 marks a special 10-year milestone since the start of the Dementia Dog project, when the world’s first ever dementia assistance dog was placed with a family in Arbroath. This is therefore an opportune time to reflect on how one inspirational idea has translated into a life changing service for families in Scotland living with dementia.
