A WORCESTERSHIRE social landlord has collected more than £46,000 for its 2024 corporate charity.
Platform Housing Group raised £46,005.67 for Dementia UK, thanks to the passion and dedication of employees and match-funding by the group’s board.
Throughout the year, teams and individuals went above and beyond to fundraise for the specialist dementia nursing charity – events included a 200-mile cycling challenge, multiple skydives, coffee mornings, bake sales, craft fairs, sponsored runs and more.
Clare Durnin, chief people and excellence officer at Platform Housing Group, said everyone was so proud of their achievements. “Dementia UK is a cause that resonates with so many of us and the effort people have put in – whether taking on a physical challenge or organising local events – has been amazing to see,” she added.
Daisy Wilson, corporate partnership lead for Dementia UK, said they were grateful to everyone at Platform for their fundraising efforts.
“It’s been great to see people take on a host of challenging activities, each of which will help us reach more families affected by dementia through our specialist Admiral Nurses, offering life changing practical and emotional support.”
The cash raised will directly support Dementia UK’s mission to ensure no family faces dementia alone.
One in two people will be affected by dementia in their lifetime, either by caring for someone with the condition, developing it, or both.
Platform’s Charity of the Year for 2025/26 is the NSPCC. It continues to support causes which make a lasting impact on lives across the UK.
