In support of the Alzheimer’s Society, our Day Care Centre team will be doing the Tatton Park Memory Walk on the 24th of September 2022
Cheshire Memory Walk is a family-friendly sponsored walk like no other, where thousands of people come together to raise funds for Alzheimer’s Society.
Lisa Lehan, Bridgewater Day Centre’s Manager told us,
“We really want to take part in the Cheshire Memory Walk being held at Tatton Park as this is a cause very close to our hearts as we are always humbled by the wonderful people that we have been lucky enough to meet and work with who are living with dementia.”
“At Bridgewater Day Care Centre we offer a safe community space in which to have fun, try a new activity, reminisce with friends, or simply sit back and enjoy being part of the lovely atmosphere. Many of our visitors simply enjoy sitting with a cup of tea, enjoying the opportunity to be amongst company.”

There are approximately 850,000 people living with dementia in the UK, including 20,095 (over 65s) in the Merseyside and Cheshire area.
The Alzheimer’s Society is encouraging people to take part in a local Memory Walk :
“Dementia is now the UK’s biggest killer with someone developing it every three minutes – yet dementia research still trails far behind other health conditions, after decades of underfunding. We are calling on family, friends – and furry four-legged supporters – to unite against dementia this autumn. Dementia devastates lives. Walk with us at Memory Walk and dementia won’t win. Every pound raised will help Alzheimer’s Society provide information and support, improve care, fund research and create lasting change for people affected by dementia.”

Bridgewater Day Care staff can provide support for the person you care for by them spending some time at our Day Care centre in Golborne, providing you with a little time to do your own thing. We offer a FREE taster session – this can be booked for either morning before lunch, 10 am – 12 pm or for the afternoon session 1.30 pm – 3.30 pm.
Research-based evidence proves that engaging in day-to-day activities, using social skills and being surrounded by friends gives someone living with dementia a much better quality of life. All of our visitors are their own person and have their own story to tell. We treat everyone as an individual here at Bridgewater Day Care Centre with complete respect and dignity.
