Marching into Spring with Forget Me Not Club
Fundraising for Forget Me Not Club
Story
The Thomson clan (Alison, Trevor, Kris, Aaron & Jack) are walking 500 miles collectively during March to raise funds for the Forget Me Not Club in Banchory. This is the equivalent of walking from Cheltenham to Banchory via Derby!
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 provide dementia support within Aberdeenshire to people living with not only a dementia diagnosis, but also their carers. Founded in 1999, FMNC has gone from strength to strength and is now well established in Banchory, Upper Deeside, also offering services to others across Aberdeen City and Shire. As we continue to provide our respite day-care, outreach, pop-up and virtual sessions, we also look to expand our service by offering accessibility to more people in the area who would benefit from our help.With over 7000 people living with a dementia diagnosis within NHS Grampian and many yet awaiting a diagnosis, it is important that FMNC can offer a little help to individuals and families when required.
