Bringing smiles to the room with dementia and friendship support

at the heart of the community

On Thursday the 16th April some of our Friendship Friday members made the most of sunshine and headed out for a gentle day trip. The woods were carpeted in blue, it felt like stepping into a painting.
We took our time wandering along the paths, chatting, laughing and soaking up the warmth of the sun filtering through the trees.

It wasn't a long or challenging walk, just the right pace for everyone to enjoy.

Thank you Nicky for driving the minibus, Steve and Zara for helping and of course for the fantastic photos for Zara.

The day ended with coffee and cakes in a nearby café. We can't wait for our next outing.

 

    
 

Highworth Forget-Me-Not began in 2019 as part of a community campaign to make Highworth a Dementia Friendly town. What started as a celebration event quickly grew into a regular Memory Café — and from there, a whole range of friendly, inclusive activities.

Today we offer Memory Cafés, Friendship Fridays, Dementia-Friendly Sing-alongs, Love to Move seated exercises, all designed to reduce isolation and bring people together. Thanks to amazing local support and  funding, we continue to grow and reach even more people.

Whether you join us, volunteer, donate or simply support from afar, you’re part of our community.
