East Whitburn Care Home team to brave the Forth Bridge for Alzheimer Scotland
A trio of brave colleagues from HC-One Scotland’s Redmill Care Home in East Whitburn are preparing to take on a thrilling challenge in memory of residents and in support of a cause close to their hearts.
On Sunday, 28th September 2025, Lesley Winning, Clinical Services Manager; Chelsea McGivern, Senior Care Assistant; and Lisa Dunlop, Care Assistant, will abseil from the iconic Forth Bridge, raising vital funds for Alzheimer Scotland.
The event is not only a personal tribute to much-loved residents at Redmill Care Home who lived with dementia, but also a community moment. Residents and fellow colleagues will mark the occasion with a special picnic and will gather to cheer on the fearless trio as they descend the bridge in support of the national dementia charity.
Lesley Winning, Clinical Services Manager at HC-One Scotland’s Redmill Care Home, said: “This is a cause very close to our hearts. We’re doing this in memory of our residents and to help ensure that no one in Scotland faces dementia alone.”
The team has already raised an impressive £350, surpassing their initial target of £200, and they are now calling on friends, family, and the local community to continue their support and help them go even further.
