At Pure Staff, we believe in giving back to the local communities in which we operate and supporting causes that make a profound difference. We are incredibly proud to announce that the Pure Staff Foundation has recently donated £1,500 to Dementia UK, an organisation that is doing vital, life-saving work right across our region.
About Dementia UK
Dementia UK is a leading national charity providing specialist support to families affected by all forms of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, and frontotemporal dementia. Their core focus is delivering practical advice, emotional guidance, and clinical expertise directly to patients and their carers.
At the heart of the charity’s work are Admiral Nurses, specialist nurses who receive ongoing training and support families through complex care needs. They work with families to manage difficult symptoms, navigate health and social care systems, and provide emotional support during critical stages of the condition.
Core Services & Support
- Helpline: A free national service (0800 888 6678) staffed by Admiral Nurses, offering confidential advice to carers, individuals with a diagnosis, and healthcare professionals.
- Clinics & Community Care: Direct appointments, both virtually and within local community hubs or GP practices, to work through specific challenges like communication, behavioural changes, and future care planning.
- Educational Resources: A wide array of online guides, leaflets, and online training sessions covering everything from early signs and financial planning to end-of-life care.
Supporting Dementia UK
Supporting Dementia UK helps ensure that families facing dementia receive the specialist medical guidance and practical help necessary to manage the condition. Because the charity relies primarily on voluntary donations to fund its services, public support directly controls how many specialist Admiral Nurses can be deployed across hospitals, primary care networks, and community services.
Ways to Support the Charity
- Direct Donations: Regular monthly giving or one-off contributions fund vital infrastructure, such as the national Admiral Nurse Helpline and virtual clinic appointments. Adding Gift Aid allows UK taxpayers to increase their contribution by 25% at no extra cost.
- Fundraising Events: Individuals and groups can participate in organised challenges, ranging from local walks and marathons to community bake sales and quizzes, or host bespoke events using official fundraising packs provided by the charity.
- In-Memory and Tribute Giving: Many families choose to honour loved ones by setting up dedicated tribute pages, collecting funeral donations, or dedicating a commemorative tree, directly supporting nurse availability for future families.
- Corporate Partnerships: Businesses can partner with the charity through corporate social responsibility initiatives, employee matched funding schemes, payroll giving, or selecting Dementia UK as their designated Charity of the Year.
- Gifts in Wills: Leaving a legacy gift ensures long-term stability for the organisation, driving the ultimate goal of expanding Admiral Nurse availability to every community that needs one.
- Volunteering and Campaigning: Beyond financial contributions, supporters can donate time by raising awareness locally, volunteering at community events, or participating in national campaigns to advocate for better social care resources across the UK.
