Staff at Potter House care come in Yeovil have gone to new heights for charity, raising over £2,000 for Alzheimer’s Society through a daring 15,000-foot skydive.
Four members of the Potter House team, including Front of House Manager Jess Stuart, took part in the skydive to show their support for people living with dementia.
Their fundraising will help Alzheimer’s Society continue its vital work, providing care, support, and research for those living with dementia.
Reflecting on the achievement, Jess Stuart said:
“We are incredibly proud to have taken part in this challenge and even more grateful for the amazing support we’ve received. Every donation will make a real difference for people living with dementia, and we want to thank everyone who contributed so generously to this cause.”
Siân Johnson, Regional Fundraiser at Alzheimer’s Society, added, “We are hugely grateful to Potter House Care Home for helping to raise awareness and vital funds for Alzheimer’s Society.
“There are over 101,500 people living with dementia in the Southwest. Alzheimer’s Society provides vital support to people living with dementia, funds groundbreaking research and campaigns to make dementia a priority. We simply can’t reach everyone without the continued support of our incredible fundraisers.”
