Members of West Siphonics Systems Ltd office, fabrication and site teams completed the Yorkshire 3 peaks challenge in May, which consisted of a 24-mile (38.6km) round trip route, and includes 1585m (5200ft) of ascent over the Ingleborough, Whernside, and Pen-y-ghent peaks.
Team West completed this challenge for a charity very close to our hearts, Dementia UK, and we would like to thank everyone that donated and helped us smash our target and raise over £2,600.
“Dear Team West,
Thank you so much for taking on your Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge for Dementia UK and for making your fundraising such a success. Your dedication means the world to us and is helping to build a future where no one faces dementia alone.
Thanks to your generosity, more families can access the life-changing support of our dementia specialist Admiral Nurses. They are there when people need them most, providing health advice, offering compassionate emotional and psychological support and helping families plan for the future. For so many, they are a lifeline.
Your incredible fundraising of £2670 (excluding Gift Aid) is already making a difference to people like Gail, whose Admiral Nurse Maxine is helping her cope with the challenges of young onset Alzheimer’s disease:
“The difference between Maxine and any other health professional I’ve seen is that she gives me time. Talking with her, I instantly feel at ease. She was the first person throughout my journey to actually listen to what I have to say. I wish everybody with a dementia diagnosis could have access to an Admiral Nurse.”
Your fundraising has had a real and lasting impact on families across the UK. We’ve enclosed your certificate as a token of our gratitude – please know how proud we are to have had you by our side.
It has been a privilege to support you with your fundraising, Team West. On behalf of everyone at Dementia UK – our nurses, our team, and the families we support – thank you.”
