Our own Laila Rhodes was awarded Volunteer Of The Year at the Big Highworth Community Awards ceremony on 28 March!

 

This was awarded in recognition of her stepping up to be Chair in challenging circumstances, and, in doing so, essentially ensuring the continuation of all the Forget Me Not activities for the last year. Thank you and well done Laila!

 

Also the volunteer team were recognised and given a Thank You award in the Team of the Year category. We certainly wouldn't be able be to what we do without the support of such a fabulous team - thank you everyone!

 

    

 

 

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.
