Forget Me Notts is a dementia friendly support group based in Tuxford at the Beeches Community Centre.
Group members are met with a hot drink at the start as people with dementia tend to forget to stay hydrated. They are supplied with 2 course meal that is home cooked with games of bingo every week.
They then engage in the afternoon activity that can involve reef making and dominoes but today there is a singer/ DJ encouraging the group members to join in to have a dance and talk to others.
Our Digital & Social Inclusion Coordinator visited this amazing group to leave information and step by step instruction guides about the NHS App and how they can access their health records, order prescriptions and book appointments from the click of a button.
Forget Me Notts runs between 12noon and 3pm every Tuesday at The Beeches Community Centre.

National Bereaved Parents Day

National Bereaved Parents Day was set up in 2020 by the charity A Child of Mine, with the aim of uniting parents that have been affected by the death of a child to show bereaved parents that they are not alone. This will allow us all to acknowledge, support and help those affected through conversations.
This year’s theme is “Love Lives On”.
To join in please light a candle at 7pm to remember all of those children and babies that have gone too soon and remember the parents and families going through this tragic time.
