This October we’re challenging you to step out of your comfort zone (and comfy shoes) to help us support unpaid dementia carers.
Whether you hike a mile in flip-flops, walk the dog in slippers or go to the office in wellies, every step helps.

Taking part is easy:
- Walk as much or as little as you want
- Wear silly footwear whilst doing it
Every step you walk and every penny you raise helps unpaid dementia carers when they need it most.

Most people don’t choose to be a carer for someone with dementia, but find themselves in this role because they don’t have any other choice. They have to step into the shoes of a carer for their spouse, parent, sibling or friend.
So for five days in October we’re hoping that you will step into someone else’s shoes – just like our carers do every day. The money you raise will help us do things like run our carer support line, which gives personalised support to unpaid dementia carers when they need it most.

“You get plunged into it, and you become an expert obviously in the medical condition around dementia, but also you’ve got to manage yourself as a carer and more often or not carers are ill equipped for that. That’s where Dementia Carers Count steps in”.
