Psychologist prepares for charity boxing match

An Assistant Psychologist at the ‘Sabrina’ Specialist Dementia Care Community at HC-One’s Meadow Bank Care Home, in Preston, Lancashire, is preparing to don her boxing gloves as part of the White Collar Fighter boxing challenge for Alzheimer’s Society.

The charity boxing match is set to take place on Saturday, December 7, at The Bowler’s Exhibition Centre in Manchester to raise funds for Alzheimer’s Society. Sofia Delidaki is an Assistant Psychologist at Sabrina House, a Specialist Dementia Care Community (SDCC), which offers an enhanced service focused on the welfare and wellbeing of people who are emotionally distressed by their dementia and therefore require specialist care and support.

Sofia recently moved to Manchester and was looking for a boxing gym in her local area when she came across the White Collar Fighter boxing challenge. Sofia has been boxing since the age of 13, on and off, and has 12-years of experience in the sport.

Sofia thought the White Collar Fighter boxing challenge presented a fantastic opportunity to combine her passion for boxing with raising money for a cause that is very close to her heart. Working as an Assistant Psychologist, Sofia has seen the impact this condition has on individuals and their families.

Sofia’s chosen charity is the Alzheimer’s Society, who provide support, help and hope to those living and caring for those living with dementia. Sofia chose to support the Alzheimer’s Society due to the incredible work they do in helping individuals and families affected by dementia.

In her professional life, Sofia has seen how challenging it can be for people to navigate the emotional and practical difficulties of the condition. The charity funds essential research but also provides critical support and resources to those in need.

By raising funds for Alzheimer’s Society, Sofia hopes to contribute to their mission of creating a world without dementia and improving the lives of those impacted today. Sofia has been training hard and wants to reach her target of fundraising £500 for the Alzheimer’s Society charity.

The Assistant Psychologist has undertaken an intense White Collar Fighter programme at a training camp for eight weeks ahead of her boxing match taking place.
