The Thomson clan are each planning to walk 75 miles throughout March to raise funds for the Forget Me Not Club in Banchory! The charity relies heavily on fundraising to be able to offer the incredible service it does. Through her involvement as Secretary of the Club, Alison has seen first hand the impact of the pandemic in terms of the reduction in fundraising opportunities to keep the Club going. We would be incredibly grateful for any donations, however big or small they might be. Thank you from us all!

Forget Me Not Club provides vital support to not only those living with dementia, but also their carers and family members throughout Aberdeenshire.
