MAIDSTONE, UK - 06/01/2025

Apogee Corporation’s annual Christmas Charity Advent Calendar saw its employees raise an impressive £4,300 for Dementia UK.

The funds raised will make a real difference to Dementia UK’s vital work. For example, dementia specialised nurses – also known as Admiral Nurses – provide practical and emotional support to patients and their families, making them a lifeline for those in need. £3,066 is enough to fund a year’s worth of professional and service development for an Admiral Nurse, ensuring their skills and expertise remain at the cutting edge of dementia care.

"We are so grateful to Apogee for organising this fundraiser for Dementia UK.

One in two of us will be affected by dementia in our lifetime - either by caring for someone with the condition, developing it ourselves, or both. It can be exhausting and overwhelming, not only for the person with dementia, but also for the people caring for them, and their wider family and friends.

“Thanks to the hard work of our amazing fundraisers like Apogee, more families than ever will be able to access the life-changing support offered by our Admiral Nurses."

- Demi Bevis-Roadnight, Regional Fundraiser at Dementia UK 

The raffle featured prizes donated by Apogee’s partners and suppliers, such as an Amazon tablet, a Poly headset, and a £150 M&S voucher.

Dom Gryszan, Director of Marketing at Apogee, commented: “We were delighted to support Dementia UK this year and raise vital funds for such an important cause. Dementia is a condition that touches so many lives, and knowing that our contributions will help Admiral Nurses continue their incredible work is immensely rewarding.”

The Christmas Charity Advent Calendar has been a company tradition since 2018, and will return in December 2025 as part of Apogee’s commitment to driving a wide range of fundraising opportunities to positively impact charities and organisations.  

In line with Apogee’s fundraising efforts and drive to support local communities, Apogee employees also visited children’s wards across five NHS Trusts during the festive period to deliver Christmas gifts, and supported Royal British Legion Industries’ Rudolph Fun Run.
