A charity dedicated to enhancing the lives of individuals with dementia through social activity groups has received a significant boost by accountants and business advisors Whitley Stimpson.

Dementia Active, which is active across six locations in Oxfordshire, is committed to improving the quality of life for people living with dementia and their caregivers. The charity offers a diverse range of activities, including discussions, exercise, dancing, arts and crafts, all designed to foster a sense of community and engagement.

The event, held at Frilford Heath Golf Club on 5th September, was attended by Andy Gill of Dementia Active. During the event, a cheque for £1,000, raised through the day’s activities, was presented to the charity, marking a successful and heartfelt contribution to their cause.
