Shredall Support Dementia Charity

 

Shredall

Shredall SDS Group offers a comprehensive information management service, encompassing shredding and recycling, document storage, and scanning.

As part of their supply contract with the University of Edinburgh, they are asked to engage with the ESES Communities Team to explore opportunities for social value investment in Edinburgh and Southeast Scotland.

Through this contact, they were introduced to STAND, a charity promoting the well-being of people living with dementia in Fife.

 

STAND

(STAND) Striving Towards A New Day promotes the well-being of people living with dementia in Fife.

They do this by:

• Offering local Dementia Friendly Meeting Centre Spaces led by people living with a diagnosis of dementia and their families and friends, supported by workers and volunteers.
• Developing training for people with a diagnosis of dementia, created and delivered by people living a Good Life with Dementia
• Influencing local and national policy and strategy, and getting involved in research projects.
• Involvement in other projects, including work with young people, friends, and family.

The Ask:

They have a live request on the ESES Communities Portal seeking funding to support their music sessions, which have had a profoundly positive impact on participants. IN the request, they state that £320 would cover 4 one-hour-long sessions.

Shredall saw the request and was keen to help.
