Forget Me Knot Cafe needs your donations

We all know someone with memory loss, dementia, Alzheimer's, mental health issues, old age or isolation. Many of us have someone close to us who suffers in one or more of these ways, and we recognise just how much they benefit from the company of people who suffer in a similiar way.

Just as important is to recognise that carers who share similar experiences can gain so much by meeting up to offer support for each other in a relaxing environment, backed up by access to specialist support when needed.

Forget Me Knot Cafe is an informal group, run by trained volunteers and staff, backed up by local specialists - where Groups offer reminiscence based activities and advice in an informal setting.

Ivan Cammack Optometrists (Chinnor, Thame & Wendover) and friends have been fund-raising to provide much needed resources for Forget Me Knot Cafe.

Our sponsored cycle ride was on Sunday 1st October. We were blessed with glorious sunshine and a warm breeze - perfect weather for peddle pushing.

The star of the day was Morgan (age 10) who had to peddle three times as fast as the adults to keep up - his bike is very small compared to his grandad's!

Well done to every rider. Great effort!. Very welcome glass of fizz at 'half way' and an excellent fund-raising achievement all round.

THANK YOU so much to everyone who has donated to Forget-me-Knot-Cafe. If you have not quite managed to click the DONATE button - it's not too late. Please give as generously as you can to this vital community based club.
