Hi All
Here’s what’s happening in the coming week. Do be sure to visit a memory café, to enjoy a Christmas theme this month. If you like singing find out more about singing carols with the Carers Choir on 4th December, more information below.
We hope that for you this Advent time is not just a preparation for Christmas but also a time where you can enjoy a moment or two of quiet and the real reason of Christmas is not lost amidst the busyness.
With our best wishes,
Ros, Katherine, Dave, Jo & All our Memory Café leads.
