Lidder Care Achieves Fundraising Target Towards Specialist Dementia Tables
Lidder Care has successfully reached its fundraising target to provide two specialist, sensory dementia tables for its residents at Newgate Lodge Care Home and Lowmoor Nursing Home.
The interactive tables, which will be supplied by Tiny Tablet, will be used by residents as a part of the daily activities offering at their homes. Now in use across the homes, the interactive tables are being enjoyed by residents and staff alike.
Together, the Lidder Care group have raised almost £10,000, which will fully cover the cost of both tables through a variety of fundraising events, challenges and community initiatives.
Beginning at the start of 2025, the fundraising efforts have included everything from sponsored walks and bike rides to bake sales, signed football raffles and completing the Tough Mudder 15K challenge.
In addition to the team’s own efforts, Lidder Care have also received generous support from local partners, including Co-op Funeralcare and the Rotary Club, whose generous donations helped the group reach the milestone.
Manjas Lidder, Managing Director at Lidder Care said: ‘These specialist dementia tables will greatly enhance and support the lives of our residents, providing new opportunities for engagement, creativity and meaningful interaction.’
‘We’re incredibly grateful for the amazing support we’ve received from our local community, organisations such as Co-op Funeralcare and the Rotary Club and our dedicated staff, residents and their families. Their generosity and enthusiasm have helped us achieve this remarkable fundraising milestone together.’
The Tiny Tablet interactive table engages residents with immersive activities and games, stimulating memory and cognitive function, encouraging social interaction and providing therapeutic enjoyment.
Recently, Lidder Care expanded its services to support individuals living in their own homes in Mansfield and Ashfield. The launch was marked with a ribbon cutting event at the head office in Mansfield, which also featured a fundraising raffle supported by donations from local businesses.
