Fulfren school entertained us for our Christmas party 🥳 🎉
Magnolia Friends always enjoys the school children and teachers joining us.
Schools play a crucial part in
supporting children who maybe affected with family, relatives, friends with memory loss and Dementia. Educating them to build empathy and reduce stigma. But to build bonds.Through shared activities, which boosts cognitive health for both generations while teaching children patience and understanding of memory loss through shared activities.
Thank you from everyone at Magnolia Friends
Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 🧑‍🎄

Festive creative crafts hand made by our group Magnolia Friends.
Simple, safe, and engaging, focusing on the process and sensory experience rather than the perfect result. Activities that spark memories and conversations.
Our tree is now ready for you all to see from 4th December at Lichfield Cathedral.
Lots of wonderful decorated trees by lots of schools, local businesses, charity groups and many others.
Please visit and drop a token in the box of your favourite christmas tree.
