Cheque handover

It gave us great pleasure to welcome Carol Sherwood MCMI, Support Service Manager at Dementia Forward, to our office and present a cheque for £1,563 which was raised following our 19-mile trek across the Pennines.

Carol said: “On behalf of my colleagues and everyone we support at Dementia Forward, thank you to the team at Harris Irwin Architects for this fantastic and generous donation. Dementia Forward is a local charity, and we rely on the donations and kindness from our local communities to be able to provide our services and raise dementia awareness in Richmond. Our ethos is “local for local” this ensures every donation made to Dementia Forward is spent in North Yorkshire.”

Mike Irwin, Managing Director at Harris Irwin, added: “Over one million people across the UK are living with dementia and as much of our work focuses on care home design for those suffering with dementia, the team were keen to raise money in aid of the valuable work of Dementia Forward. We hope our donation will help to support individuals and families in North Yorkshire affected by this cruel disease.

The leading dementia charity for North Yorkshire, Dementia Forward provides support, advice and information to anybody affected by dementia.  Locally to Harris Irwin, they also deliver a day-care service for people living with dementia at Garget Walker House in Richmond.
