Finally able to give Colin Cartwright his farewell thank you gift A book token and a bookmark featuring what else but a piece of Heather.
Colin was the previous Chair of the Heather Club, stayed on as a trustee and now volunteers at the club. The Heather Club is like the Hotel California. You can check out but never leave. Thanks Colin.

Another joyful day at the Heather Club!
This morning we drew designs on pumpkins for 🎃
Everyone was engaged and enjoyed creating a whole range of very interesting faces!
After a delicious lunch of goulash followed by syrup sponge pudding and custard, we were entertained by the band, Licorice.
It felt like a proper party with the dancefloor full most of the afternoon -: as well as singing along!

Coming together, sharing experiences and learning from one another can make such a difference when navigating life with dementia.

The Heather Club were delighted to be invited last week to speak at the Memory Steps Course, hosted by local dementia charity Say It With A Smile, to share more about our work supporting people living with dementia.

It was lovely to be part of a session bringing together people living with dementia and their family members and caregivers to learn, connect and explore the support available.

A huge thank you to Hannah and her dedicated team of volunteers for the invitation. We greatly admire their work helping people navigate dementia, and it is wonderful to collaborate with another local charity that shares our commitment to creating warm, welcoming and understanding communities.

If you or someone close to you is affected by dementia, do take a look at the Memory Steps Course and the work of Say It With A Smile.

Introducing some of the team from 'The Change Makers' - our fundraising team from local secondary school .

They are taking part in this year's Dragon's Den Apprentice scheme run by Connect Dacorum where they are tasked with fundraising on behalf of The Heather Club .

The team came to visit us at the club this week and were aimed with endless ideas, enthusiasm and fundraising plans galore for the club. It was brilliant to be able to meet some of the team in person and to give them a taster of what we're all about here at The Heather Club. They observed, they engaged, they even persuaded to join in with our dance class which was brilliant to see.

Looking forward to all the amazing events they have lined up and can't thank them enough for their support. As a small dementia charity based in Hemel, it is wonderful to receive the support of these local students 💜🙏

Thank you so much to Sarah and all the team from Home Instead who so kindly gave up their time to come in. Our members thoroughly enjoyed themselves and loved going home with their goodies 💜🎁🙏

Thank you so much to the wonderful team from Caremark Dacorum who come in once a month to run a seated bollywood dance class for our members. 🙏

Not only is it great fun, it also supports our members with cognitive function, co-ordination and improved circulation.

Our members love dancing to the uplifting bollywood tunes and it's a great way to get them all moving 👣🎵

The seaside comes to The Heather Club 🌊🐚

For our last day before the summer break we bought the seaside to our club members and had a lovely time reminiscing about seaside visits from their childhoods.

We had everything from pin the tail on the (seaside) donkey 🫏 to sensory boxes with pebbles and shells 🐚 to beach games 🎾

There was fish and chips for lunch along with a surprise visit from the ice-cream van with 99s all round 🍦 Topped off with live music from The UkeRythmics who entertained us with traditional seaside tunes and sea shantys 🎶.We even had an impromptu performance of Summerime by one of our volunteers who has a gorgeous soulful voice 🎤

A huge thank you to Hemel Hempstead Lions Club for generously supporting the event along with all our wonderful staff, volunteers and all involved in making the day special 🙏

The members throughly enjoyed themselves and went home with huge smiles on their faces 😀 💜

Our wonderful dementia choir made up of our very own members, put on a smashing performance for friends and family on Monday 👏

As many of you will know, singing is incredibly therapeutic and not only boosts our wellbeing but helps improve memory function and generally brings great joy to our members 💜

Huge thank you to our singing coach Carrie, our dance coach Louise and to all our wonderful volunteers who supported 🙏

Didn't they do brilliantly?🤩
