The first Forget Me Not Coffee Meet-up in Lutterworth has been hailed a success.

“The positive feedback from attendees reassures us that we are on the right path. We are optimistic that future events will attract even more community members, further strengthening the support network for those impacted by dementia.
“As we look forward to future gatherings, we remain dedicated to expanding our support for individuals and families navigating the challenges of dementia. We are excited to continue building a strong, informed, and compassionate community.”
