More people living with Dementia and their carers can seek support and opportunities thanks to a grant from the Premier League. Recently, participants were treated to a tour of King Power Stadium during Dementia Action Week to celebrate the new fund.

Albeit similar to the work in this area, the PL Fans Fund grant funding will enable LCitC coaches to work in care homes - something that hasn’t been possible before - and provide further opportunities on Filbert Way.

Dave Eassom, Community Coach at Leicester City in the Community commented on the different this will make: “This grant from the Premier League will allow us to grow and add value to the programme. People who normally wouldn’t come to the stadium will have opportunities to add to their lives and have something to look forward to.

“Leicester City in the Community is a values-based organisation that offers a lot; we are fairly central and easy to get to which is perfect for people with Dementia.”

Leicester City in the Community work closely with Age UK to positively impact more people in our region. Staff from the Club’s charity have received Dementia training, while people with Dementia have previously been on trips, taken part in 15 memory cafés as well as going on four tours around King Power Stadium.

Jo Martin, Dementia Support Worker at Age UK Leicestershire, added: “We have been working with Leicester City in the Community and the Then, Now and Forever project since January 2023.

"We have over 100 people diagnosed with Dementia referred to us every month, so this new project funding will keep helping us to spread awareness on Dementia. It will help the city of Leicester become more Dementia-friendly.”

Next season will see a Dementia-focused matchday and Foxes legends attending talks for people living with Dementia, and their carers, to improve their quality of life.

People with Dementia will have further opportunities to join in with pre-existing Leicester City in the Community sessions, such as Walking Football and Silver Foxes.
