One in three people born today in the UK will go on to develop dementia in their lifetime, with roughly 2,400 people in Portsmouth currently living with dementia. The memory walk is free and open to all, including pets.

Hundreds of fundraisers flocked to Castle Field last year, with nearly £64,000 being raised for Alzheimer’s Society. Crowds loved the glorious sunshine and the camaraderie of people uniting together.

People will get to feel the buzz of the crowd, but also reflect on quiet moments of remembrance – all while raising money for the charity.

Residents can sign up on the charity’s website.
