A number of different fundraising efforts have taken place from bake sales to colleagues running the London marathon, as well as the annual May campaign of the sale of ‘Forget me not’ pin badges and the tradition of Elf Week.
The One Retail team have had its most successful fundraising year to date with one significant donation coming from Nathan Ashworth’s 2024 London Marathon – raising over £23,000.
The team fundraises for Alzheimer’s Society’s frontline dementia advisers who provide one-to-one support for people affected by dementia. The charity aims to ‘transform’ the landscape of dementia forever.
Nicci Lauder, general manager for One Retail at Royal Derby Hospital, who leads the charity work commented: “It has been a fantastic effort from all the teams in contributing to this figure. Overall we have raised £523,842 for Alzheimer’s Society. It is a true partnership and the relationship we have with them is second to none – bouncing ideas off each other, looking at optimising the activities and how the funds are used.”
