MEMORY CAFÉS   •  WELLBEING ACTIVITIES  •  OTHER CAFÉS

Hi All

Christmas is nearly here, for some a joyous time, for others a reflective time as they remember Christmases past. However you are celebrating Christmas this year all of us here at Caraway send our very best wishes to you all.

Our usual weekly emails will resume on Friday 2nd January 2026.

Ros, Katherine, Dave, Jo & All our Memory Café leads.

MAST Theatre Community Project December 2025.

The Gift of Christmas is a gift for the Southampton Community , created by the Caraway Memory Cafe attendees of Maybush and Lordshill. Participants came together to share what Christmas means to them and designed and created a quilt square that was made into 2 large quilts. Theese Christmas quilts are made with memories, new and old and lovingly created to bring warmth, smiles and a little Christmas magic to all who sees them. You can see these on display at the MAST Theatre in Southampton, in the Cafe on the 2st floor.

This is led by Hannah Jones and Maddie Risbridger as part of “The Fabric of Britain.” ( www.fabricofbritain.com )
