JAILBREAK
HELP RAISE MY BAIL TO ESCAPE FROM JAIL!
Charity Jailbreak – Help Set Me Free!
On 16th May 2026, I’m getting locked up at Shepton Mallet Prison, the world’s oldest Jail and former home to the notorious Krays Twins.
I need your help to grant me my freedom!
Jail Break 2026 will help raise vital funds for Reminiscence Learning, a charity dedicated to supporting individuals living with dementia and their families.
This isn’t just any fundraiser – I’ll be ‘treated’ to the full prisoner experience sampling what it’s like to be behind bars and taking part in an Escape Room challenge wearing a flattering orange jumpsuit!
To secure my release, I am aiming to raise £250 in bail money… and that’s where YOU come in!
Why Donate?
Every pound you give goes directly to Reminiscence Learning, helping fund their incredible work in dementia care, education, and support services. Your generosity can make a real difference in the lives of those affected by dementia.
Thank you for your support – now, let’s get me out of here!
Why give?
Reminiscence Learning was created and founded by Fiona Mahoney an Occupational Therapist (OT) who has experience in both physical and mental health. She has worked in the NHS and set up her own medical equipment company “The Making Life Easier Centre” in 1985. As a qualified reflexologist, Bach flower practitioner and OT she ran her own private business, linking in with the medical centres and the Nuffield hospital.
Whilst working for the Somerset Partnership NHS Mental Health Trust in the mid-90s, Fiona set up the Penny Farthing Reminiscence Centre in Wellington, Somerset and it was here that the embryo of an idea was born to train both staff and the general public in how to run reminiscence sessions.
In 2001 Fiona set up Reminiscence Learning and it became a registered charity in 2003. The charity has changed and developed over the years. It is now a National and Regional multi-award winning registered charity.
It started in Wellington, moved to Bishops Lydeard, Taunton and then in 2015 we moved back to Wellington. It has grown and changed over the years responding to individual and community needs, specialising in dementia care, activity and reminiscence.
We pride ourselves in being a dynamic, forward thinking and innovative charity who put the needs of the client and carer first and listen to their thoughts and requests.
