We hosted our ‘Cake and Cabaret’ event on Friday and what a fantastic time we had! 💃🕺
Our attendees enjoyed an afternoon of singing, dancing, and afternoon tea! The room was full of smiles, music and good vibes!
A huge thank you to @seymourhotelsjersey for giving us the room hire and entertainment free of charge as part of our ‘Charity of the Year’ partnership, to @cicoop for the funding we received from their ‘Community Fund’ initiative - some of which was used to cover the cost of the food at the event, and of course to our wonderful volunteers.
With the support of everyone involved, we were able to create a truly special afternoon for people with dementia and their carers. Thank you 💜

🌸 A huge thank you to the amazing team from Ocorian! 🌸
Last week, they generously volunteered their time to help give our #ForgetMeNotPlot a much-needed refresh. It`s been a busy few weeks at the allotment with various groups and activities being hosted there so we wanted to give the space a bit of TLC to keep it looking its best for the remaining of the summer season. Plus, it was just in time for the Britain in Bloom judging this week!
Great work Ocorian team! The plot is looking brighter and more beautiful than ever. We couldn’t have done it without you! 💜
