As many of you will be aware, Peter Gray has recently had the great honour of receiving an Order of the British Empire (OBE) from King Charles III.

We have been made aware that some people wish to send gifts to Peter and whilst your thought is well received, we have thought long and hard and come up with an alternative suggestion.

Many of you will know of our family’s first-hand experience with Dementia/Alzheimer’s due to the sad loss of Peter’s beloved mother Norma. With this in mind, if you particularly wish to make a gift/donation, then nothing would please Peter & Avril more than if you were to make a donation to the Forget-Me-Not Club.

We have set up a Just Giving Page with the link attached.

We genuinely want our friends not to be pressured in any way but, rather hope that this suggestion might help you to understand what Peter and Avril would really appreciate should you insist on sending a gift.

Peter & Avril thank you for your understanding and generosity along with the countless Good Wishes and celebratory messages sent to us.

Thank you,

Peter Gray OBE

We have been genuinely overwhelmed by the incredible generosity of all of our friends and family . What started as a wee notion to make a small donation to charities close to our hearts has ended up being a very important donation to Dementia Support’s Forget Me Nots of Banchory .

What a truly fabulous few weeks we’ve had and chapter in our lives which will never be forgotten . Thank you again for your incredible generosity and support .

Avril & Peter Gray OBE
