In the run-up to Christmas (between 13th and 24th December) we bring you a different charity that needs your help at this time of year, as part of our dedicated 12 Charities of Christmas campaign…
Forget-Me-Not Club
Founded in 1999 the Forget-Me-Not Club provides invaluable support to those living with and caring for people with dementia. With a dedicated and highly qualified team of staff and volunteers, we run a host of activities in Banchory and upper Deeside.
The charity’s prime function to support people with Dementia, their carers and family.
The purpose-designed resource centre, Bennett House in Banchory, is open Monday to Friday with sessions offering a variety of activities.
They raised nearly £15,000 and want to increase the amount with the virtual disco.
The fundraiser will be held on Friday at 7.30pm on Zoom, and entry is £5 per household, with the option of ordering a Christmas dinner and drinks from local businesses at an extra price.
Mr Pope said: “The Boogie Wonderland charity event is an idea a couple of us had to give people a chance for a Christmas party – especially if they’re living alone – to raise money for the Forget-Me-Not Club, and to support local businesses.
“We hope this will appeal to a wide-range of people and give them something to look forward to when they might otherwise be on their own at this time.
