Brighton Memory Walk in aid of Alzheimer’s Society

Over 700 Alzheimer’s Society supporters will be stepping out to honour or remember a loved ones with dementia at Brighton Memory Walk, which takes place at Hove Lawns (Brighton) on Saturday 30th September, 2023 from 10am.

Money raised from the event will help fund faster diagnosis and ongoing support through some of the hardest and most frightening times people affected by dementia have faced, as well as funding vital research.

The commitment of those taking part has never been more important, with one in three people born today in the UK going on to develop dementia in their lifetime.

Marion Child Local Services Manager for Alzheimer’s Society in Sussex said: “There are over 24,400 people living with dementia across Sussex, so there has never been a better time to gather your support network and take part in the Brighton Memory Walk.

“The buzz of the crowd, quiet moments of remembrance, the hug of a stranger who gets it – whatever you feel on the day, you won’t be alone. And every pound raised by incredible supporters will help improve the lives of everyone living with dementia both now and in the future.”

“So, whether you walk as one or walk with many at Brighton Memory Walk, it’s the perfect opportunity to celebrate and remember all those affected by dementia and help fund vital support and research.”

Over 700 walkers have already registered to take part in Brighton Memory Walk (you can sign up on the day too). Brighton Memory Walk is suitable for all ages and abilities and is free to sign up to.

Participants can also opt to organise a walk of their own at a time and location of their choice during Autumn 2023 and will receive a fundraising pack and T-shirt.
