Abstract
Compass Group UK & Ireland’s healthcare team has raised £151,555 for the Alzheimer’s Society since announcing its charity partnership in May 2015.
The money raised will be used to fund research into dysphagia in people with dementia in a residential care setting.
Steven Cenci, managing director of healthcare at Compass Group UK & Ireland, said: “We are extremely proud of our partnership with Alzheimer’s Society and are pleased to be supporting the charity in the work they do around dementia. The study will help enable care professionals and families to ensure people living with dementia and dysphagia can receive better care.”
Fundraising activities have included ‘Elf Week’, which saw colleagues across Compass’ healthcare retail business dress up as elves during the Christmas period.
