Context
FOS has announced that, following a company-wide vote, Dementia UK – the UK’s specialist dementia nursing charity – was chosen to be supported over the next two years. This announcement follows the conclusion of support for Sands from 2024 to 2026.
Key points to note
- The new partnership will help the charity – via their dementia specialist Admiral Nurses – to continue to provide free, expert advice, support and understanding to help families care for their loved ones, and work towards a day where no one has to face dementia alone.
- The Financial Ombudsman’s employee-led Giving Something Back Committee, which is responsible for coordinating and championing opportunities to work with charity partners, will lead fundraising initiatives over the next two years.
- As part of the partnership, Dementia UK will provide workplace training and support for carers and vulnerability training for staff serving affected customers.
