What a month!

 

 

On our first day back after the Christmas break we celebrated the new year by having a fantastic meal at The Saracen's Head 40 of us gathered for a delicious roast and friendly chats on the 2nd of January.

This month we introduced new group games including Pass the Parcel, Clapping Game, Beetle Drive and Higher or Lower. These games engage everyone, no particular skills needed. We even had an improvised line dance performance to Zorba the Greek, thanks to Sheila!

As always, we had a go at solving Steve's very interesting quizzes and played lots of number and picture bingos.

Our volunteer Lynda kindly offered a regular sewing/mending session.

   

          

 

         

 

 

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.
