Our original name was Mandalay Wellbeing CIC changing to Football Against Dementia CIC in April 2022 following the success of this project. Our goal is still the same…to help people. This is an overview of some of our achievements.
Football Against Dementia History Timeline
Bringing together support and community groups with GPs and medical professionals to widen the knowledge of patient support in locations.
It was way back in August 2017 that Mandalay Wellbeing CIC was formed.
We produced 2 films highlighting how diet can help certain medical conditions – Arthritis and Macular Degeneration .
We were invited to present at the National Association of Primary Care in London to showcase our Community Engagement Events with east Norfolk Medical Practice…then organised another one with more films highlighting community groups.
We collected over 1500 items of food for the Salvation Army in 3 weeks when they were critically low on stock.
We organised another community engagement event, this time bringing in commercial suppliers to work with clinical services and community groups.
We created an employment group aimed at getting people off benefits and helping employers find the right candidates.
We were awarded with the Odeon Cinemas Community Champion Award for East Anglia…and enjoyed a great day out.
The Bridge.. We brought together local business leaders to help people start their own businesses. It was an amazing event with a prize pot of £10k of donated services and prizes.
