Hi All
Although it’s school holidays there are still things happening across the city this week – Cafés to visit, support groups, with warmer weather why not try a cycle ride through Fleming Park with cycles4all. We also have our Bereavement Course starting on 28 April – if you know of anyone for whom this course would be helpful get them to contact us for more information.
A reminder to check non-Caraway events are still happening as we are not always given up to date changes!
As always, any queries 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.
With our best wishes,
Ros, Katherine, Dave, Jo & All our Memory Café leads.
