Bringing smiles to the room with dementia and friendship support

at the heart of the community

We are absolutely delighted and incredibly grateful to announce that £8,512.15 has been raised for Highworth Forget-Me-Not by Mayor Julie Murphy, who chose us as her charity of the year for the second consecutive year.

 

This remarkable achievement is the result of months of dedication, hard work and community spirit. Through a variety of fundraising events and the generosity of local residents, businesses and supporters, Julie and her team have raised an amount that will make a real and lasting difference to our charity and to the people we support.

 

The funds will help us continue providing invaluable services for people living with dementia, as well as offering vital support to their families and carers. From our Memory Café and Friendship Fridays to Love to Move sessions, Dementia-Friendly Sing-alongs, outings and engaging activities, every pound raised helps create opportunities for connection, enjoyment and improved wellbeing.

 

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Julie Murphy and her team for their unwavering support over the past two years. Julie’s commitment to our charity has been truly inspiring, and we are immensely grateful that she has championed our cause with such passion and enthusiasm.

 

We would also like to thank everyone who attended fundraising events, donated, volunteered or supported the Mayor’s appeal in any way. Your kindness and generosity will have a lasting impact on the lives of many local people affected by dementia.

 

From everyone at Highworth Forget-Me-Not, thank you for believing in what we do and for helping us continue to provide a welcoming, supportive and uplifting community for those who need it most.

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.
