<div><strong>Help Fergal O’Brien Raise £10,000 Skydiving for Dementia Family Carers respite care</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>“I just want to help”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That’s what Fergal said after listening to Dementia Family Carers and gaining a deeper understanding of the huge challenges they face and the vital difference our charity makes.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, Fergal O’Brien, a top racehorse trainer from Cheltenham is turning those words into action by taking on a skydive to raise £7,500 for Dementia Carers Respite.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>During Dementia week on Friday the 22nd of May, Worcester Racecourse will be holding a special event showing Fergal O’Brien’s Skydive and talking about Dementia. If you are anywhere near why not come and join the fun. Look out for updates on this site
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>Why this matters</em></strong>
</div>
<div>Dementia family carers face a relentless “double whammy” of physical and mental exhaustion. Many provide care 24/7, often alone, with little or no break.
</div>
<div>89% of dementia family carers experience a crisis each year, many receive little or no NHS or council support while struggling with burnout, isolation and declining health.
</div>
<div>Larger charities focus on research or offer guidance and signposting but our mission is so far unique and hands on.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What we do</strong>
</div>
<div>Dementia Carers Respite is dedicated to funding professional, in-home respite care for family carers.
</div>
<div>Our carers are fully trained in dementia care and safeguarding, compassionate, reliable, and experienced in dementia care. They deliver a service operating under CQC-regulated organisations
</div>
<div>This support gives family carers something priceless: time to rest, recover, and breathe.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The impact of your donation</strong>
</div>
<div>Our £10,000 target will fund 400 hours of respite care.
</div>
<div>That means:
</div>
<div>•	Carers can take a break, attend appointments, or simply sleep
</div>
<div>•	Loved ones continue receiving safe, high-quality care at home
</div>
<div>•	Families stay stronger and their loved ones stay at home for longer
</div>
<div>The benefit reaches beyond the individual—supporting healthier families and more compassionate communities.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How you can help</strong>
</div>
<div>Please support Fergal’s skydive and stand with dementia family carers.
</div>
<div>Every donation—no matter what the size—brings real, immediate relief to someone who desperately needs it.
</div>
<div>Together, we can give carers the break they deserve.
