We are hosting our annual 'Pimp my Zimmer' competition for members once again, in 2023!


We have been running this every year since 2021, due to Zimmer Frames being a part of life for many older people but sometimes - particularly if they have dementia - they don't like using them as they cannot associate with them.


Research has shown that you can encourage your residents and service users to use their Zimmer Frame by decorating them with items or a theme that means something to them.


All of our members are welcome to enter the competition, through their work with their services users in all types of care settings including, Residential, Domicilliary, Nursing and Learning Disabilities.


Family members can even enter on behalf of their family member using the services of our members too!


This time the competition will run from 23rd May - 25th June and the shortlisted candidates will be notified w/c 26th June and will be asked to attend our Summer Conference on 3rd July, 9:30am - 3:00pm at:


Portway Lifestyle Centre,

Newbury Lane,

Oldbury,

B69 1HE


You can enter here and through completing the nomination form
