Around 225,000 people develop dementia every year – that’s the equivalent to one person every three minutes. This September and October Memory Walks are taking place across England, Wales and Northern Ireland to raise money for a world without dementia.

On the 20th September 2015 a team from our firm entered the Staffordshire Memory Walk to raise money for the Alzheimer's Society, our firm’s chosen charity. The team, Joanne Charles (Director), Emma Roberts (Solicitor), Rebecca Antony (Solicitor) and Melissa Hamilton (Wills Executive) has raised over £500 so far and is planning more events to raise money for the charity over the coming months.

Gordon Banks OBE, a former England international football goalkeeper, was there to start the walk, to encourage all participants and to thank them for all of their fundraising efforts.
