Pimp my Zimmer Competition 2025

Last chance to enter our popular Pimp my Zimmer Competition!

Zimmer Frames are 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.

We are always amazed at the imagination and creativity that goes into some of the entries and you can see many of them on our website.

You have until 16th June to submit your entry and the winner will be announced at our Summer Conference on 19th June (details below) and will receive a luxury hamper.

Good luck!
