Ibis Care was proud to once again take part in the Memory Walk & Jog in Cronulla on March 1. The purpose of this event is to raise funds and awareness to support Dementia Australia’s vital work in research, advocacy, and community support.
This year, the IBIS Care team walked and jogged with a shared purpose: to help stop dementia in its tracks. James Carter, Chief Executive of IBIS Care, explained that staff are very passionate about this cause. He said he is proud to see his team continue their commitment to the Memory Walk.
“Many of us have personally had dementia touch our lives, whether it be a parent, grandparent, or a resident living with dementia,” Mr Carter said. “This event is a reminder of the strength and unity within our community, and reaffirms our dedication to supporting every Australian affected by dementia.”
IBIS Care staff are an active and proud part of the St George and Sutherland Shire communities—the communities they serve. More than just a fundraising event, the Memory Walk unites families, friends, and local organisations in standing alongside those living with dementia. It is an important cause that sits at the heart of aged care.
The walk has already taken place, but the fundraising efforts continue. Every contribution helps strengthen essential support services, empower carers, and fuel research that brings hope to individuals and families affected by dementia.
“I enjoyed walking alongside staff and the community at the Memory Walk on the first of March,” Mr Carter said. “Last year, our team showed incredible spirit, walking with the community and raising thousands of dollars for this important cause. In 2026, we’re aiming higher.”
The Ibis Care team returned to Cronulla with staff participation increasing from 25 to 40 compared to last year, along with a higher fundraising target of $15,000 for Dementia Australia.
