Hi All
We hope you’re able to join us at our Memory Cafés this week.
A reminder to check it with event holders in case details have changed since we received the information, especially with lots of Bank Holidays this month! 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 leave a message and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
We want to highlight our fundraiser next month on Saturday 28th June. We’d love you to join us if you want to run or cycle or if you’re able to sponsor our team. Details are below.
With our best wishes,
Ros, Katherine, Dave, Jo & All our Memory Café leads.
