Alzheimer’s Society Head of Corporate Partnerships, Lizzie Pearl, said: “Dementia is the UK’s biggest killer and over 900,000 people are living with the condition – the need for support has never been greater. We’re grateful for the unwavering support of our incredible partner, One Stop, who have already raised over £550,000 for Alzheimer’s Society. This new pin badge, a wonderful spin on a timeless and iconic sweet, will help raise vital funds for our pioneering dementia research and dedicated support services. Together, we can end the devastation caused by dementia, providing help and hope for everyone affected.

 

In 2019 our colleagues voted and chose our brand-new national charity partnership Alzheimer’s society.

We were keen to start our partnership and focus on three main areas, Fundraising of course but also focusing on raising awareness and promoting the support available to people living with dementia in our communities.

The support we have given to Alzheimer’s Society has helped to fund many projects with the community helping to offer support to those who need it. Check out what projects are in your local area. Find support near you | Alzheimer’s Society (alzheimers.org.uk)

 

Since 2019 we have also been working to upskill our colleagues on how dementia effects those living with dementia in our community and how we can best support them when they visit our stores.

We launched the Dementia Friend programme and have to date created over 12,000 dementia friend within our business.
