September is Dementia Awareness Month, and this year we’re asking you to do one simple thing: MOVE Against Dementia. 💛

Dance, walk, run, ride, swim, stretch, train, however you like to move, turn it into something that helps raise awareness and vital funds for Umbrella Dementia Cafés.

Our cafés create welcoming, community-led spaces where people living with dementia, their families and carers can connect, feel supported and simply enjoy being together.

You don’t need to organise a huge event. Host a class, bring your community together, set yourself a challenge or dedicate something you already do to the campaign.

Get in touch with us to be part of Move Against Dementia and help keep our cafés alive 💜💛💙

A huge thank you to the No Lights No Lycra Warrandyte community for supporting Dance Against Dementia and raising an incredible $388 for Umbrella Dementia Cafes!!

It was such a great night of movement, connection and community, with everyone getting behind the cause and adding a touch of yellow for the occasion.

We’re so grateful to everyone who attended, donated and helped make the night such a success, and to the NLNL Warrandyte team for bringing it all together for another year💛

Every contribution helps Umbrella Dementia Cafes continue creating spaces for connection, belonging and brighter days for people living with dementia and their families and we cannot thank you enough for your continued support!

All September, we’re diving in for Dance Against Dementia with John Van Wisse Swim School! 🏊‍♀️💛

We’re so grateful to have the John Van Wisse swim community supporting Umbrella Dementia Cafes throughout September, helping us raise awareness and vital funds for people living with dementia and their families.

Across the month, swimmers attending squads can get involved simply by making a donation on arrival.

How to donate:
Scan the QR code at the pool and donate whatever amount feels right for you. Every contribution, big or small, helps us continue creating welcoming spaces where people living with dementia can connect, feel supported and be part of their community.

A huge thank you to John and the entire swim squad community for getting behind our campaign this September.

Swim. Support. Make a difference. 💦

A HUGE thank you to the incredible team at SeaCycle Swim 🌈✨

Throughout August, SeaCycle chose Umbrella Dementia Cafés as their WeChange charity, donating $1 from every SeaCycle order and raised an incredible $802 🥹💕

But their generosity didn’t stop there.

SeaCycle also donated a collection of their gorgeous, bright and colourful pieces for our café participants and volunteers to enjoy and safe to say, they brought plenty of colour, smiles, laughter and joy into our cafés! 🌸🌈

We are so grateful to SeaCycle for choosing to support and helping us continue creating welcoming and meaningful spaces for people living with dementia and their families, and for reminding us just how powerful a little bit of colour and kindness can be.

Thank you, SeaCycle Swim, we are so lucky to have your support! 🫶

PEAK 500 IS COMING 🔥

This is not your normal Saturday session.

500 reps. A huge mix of stations. One massive morning at F45 Sandringham Highett.

Take it on solo and test yourself, or grab a partner and share the workload.

And the best part? You do not need to be the fittest person in the room. Peak 500 is about getting involved, challenging yourself and doing it alongside our community.

We’ll have the SkiErgs, rowers, bikes, sleds, barbells and plenty more ready to go, with waves kicking off throughout the morning.

And it’s all for a great cause, raising money for Dance Against Dementia.

📅 Saturday 12th September
📍 F45 Sandringham Highett

Bookings are opening soon.

Solo or pairs. Who’s taking on Peak 500? 👀
