This October, we’re inviting people across Essex to take part in our Sober October Challenge – put down the drinks, commit to a mile of activity every day, and raise money for a local charity that really deserves our support: Essex Dementia Care.
💙 Why Essex Dementia Care?
At Later Living Helpline, we believe in shining a light on small, local charities that make a big difference in their communities.
Essex Dementia Care has been helping families across Essex for over fifteen years. From their One2One Memory Companions to dementia-friendly activity groups in Bradwell, Braintree, Sandon, Broomfield, Writtle and Chelmer, they provide vital support that helps people living with dementia stay active, independent, and connected.
They also provide something priceless for carers — respite. By keeping loved ones engaged and supported, Essex Dementia Care gives families the time they need to rest and recharge.

Sober October is about health, community, and making a difference. By giving up alcohol and committing to a mile a day — whether you walk, run, cycle, swim, dance, or even garden — you’ll be doing something good for yourself while raising funds for a cause that truly matters locally.

🌟 Let’s Do This Together
Essex Dementia Care isn’t a large national charity with big fundraising budgets — they rely on local support to keep their services going. Every pound raised will go directly to them, helping people with dementia live fuller, more independent lives here in Essex.
This October, let’s get healthier, build community spirit, and raise money for a charity that truly deserves it.
💜 Join us for Sober October and help make a difference.
