Hi All
Below we list our Memory Cafés for next week and do check out the extras we’ve got happening this term. Due to illness we are having to postpone the start of our next Bereavement Course so there’s still time to book, see new dates below. Don’t forget to book your place(s) to join us at our popular Tea Dance on 7th October at St. Denys.
A reminder to check with event holders in case details have changed since we received the information and if you know of anything happening in the city that might be of interest to others do get in touch via email or phone 07535 164014 and leave a message and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
With our best wishes,
Ros, Katherine, Dave, Jo & All our Memory Café leads.
