Hi All
Our last week of May coming up already. We hope you’ve been able to visit some of the Cafés this month. Some of our team are running a half marathon next month, visiting some Care Homes across the city. You may not be up to joining them but if you’re able to support them do read the information about the run below.
A reminder to check in 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.
