Bringing smiles to the room with dementia and friendship support

at the heart of the community

 

We had an amazing afternoon at Buscot, enjoying a picnic in the sunshine with good food, fresh air and great company. It was a chance to relax, chat and spend time together in beautiful surroundings.

 

A big thank you to one of our attendees’ daughter at Cotswold Boat Hire - Shirley and her team - for kindly inviting us and making the afternoon possible. Your generosity was greatly appreciated by everyone.

 

We would also like to thank Lechlade & District Lions Club and Highworth & District Lions Club for the use of their minibuses, which enabled so many of our members and volunteers to come along and enjoy the day.

 

It was a great afternoon spent together, one that everyone thoroughly enjoyed.

 

    

 


 

 

 

 

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.
