Working together with the Bradford on Avon Dementia Action Alliance, and alongside Alzheimer's Support and the Bradford on Avon Health Centre, the monthly Forget me Not Café is a tremendous and very popular use for our wonderful recently restored church facility. The Café sadly had to close for Covid, but now thrives once again. There is a 'sister' very successful monthly Forget Me not Café at the 'Dog and Fox' (Ashley Road, Bradford on Avon) on the first Thursday afternoon (3-4.30pm) of the month. The Holy Trinity Café takes place on the third Thursday morning (11am-12.30pm), and is open to anyone who is elderly and would like some company. The formula is very simple:
• A smiling and friendly welcome from trained volunteers
• The informal and supportive presence of the Health Centre and Alzheimer’s Support staff
• Home-made cakes and sandwiches and freshly brewed tea and coffee on tap
• Attractive tables with table-cloths and flowers
• Lots of chat and fun - meeting old friends and new – and an understanding atmosphere where people can relax
• A monthly activity – eg bulb planting, singing, crafts, board-games
