How we can support you
Whether you have a question that needs an immediate answer or need emotional support when life feels overwhelming, these are the ways our dementia specialist Admiral Nurses can support you.
Our Corporate Partnerships Team’s highlights
One Day
Across two One Day campaigns, employees raised over £1m by donating a day’s salary to support families affected by dementia. As part of the campaigns, more than 20 colleagues generously shared how dementia had impacted their lives, helping to open conversations and build understanding across the organisation.
Challenge events
Collectively, 235 colleagues travelled over 34,962km by walking, running, cycling and swimming in aid of Dementia UK. As part of this, groups of employees trekked and cycled across India, Italy, Morocco and Slovenia to take on incredible challenges, showing their commitment to supporting families affected by dementia.
Hackathon
In 2024, more than 2,300 Deutsche Bank colleagues from around the world gathered as part of a ‘Hackathon’, working together to develop technology solutions to problems facing people living with dementia. They spent 24 hours addressing various aspects of dementia care, from early diagnosis and support to carer assistance and community awareness. We took forward some powerful learnings thanks to colleagues’ involvement, including around the application of new technologies such as AI-powered support.
Specialist dementia support and education
We offered more than 120 appointments for Deutsche Bank colleagues with an Admiral Nurse, providing them with specialist one-to-one support with coping with any aspect of dementia, during working hours.
Our nurses also delivered engaging sessions and presented at events to raise awareness of the impact of dementia on work and family life. This included more than 15 dementia ‘lunch and learns’ as well as specialist sessions aligned to different networks within Employee Resource Groups such as:
- The Bereavement Network, focusing on experiences of grief in the dementia journey
- Mental Health First Aiders, providing guidance on how to support the mental wellbeing of colleagues affected by dementia
- The Black Leadership Forum, focusing on experiences of families from Black, African and Caribbean communities. Deutsche Bank employee Tim shared his experience of caring for his grandma, who lived with dementia, and why our specialist support service is so important.
A big thank you
As our partnership with Deutsche Bank has drawn to a close, we would like to thank everyone who played a part in the amazing impact we have had together, working towards our vision of a world where no one faces dementia alone.
