Forget Me Not Community Hub

We had a mission and a vision!

Isolation and loneliness are two of the hardest things that elderly people live with, day in and day out. So we wanted to encourage the most vulnerable people in our society to meet new people and end the feeling of isolation and loneliness.

Imagine always being busy, working, raising a family, meeting with friends and having the mobility and energy to do it. Then all of a sudden, you are less mobile, have less confidence and everyone is busy with their own lives. We understand how this can feel, so this is why we set up a local community Hub in The Vale called the Forget Me Not Community Hub to welcome everyone who feels like this.

Our Forget Me Not Community Hub is driven from our hearts, and run by our fabulous Hub Co-Ordinator Nicola!

Nicola has worked for Bluebird Care for many years and understands the importance of the hub. Over the last few years, Nicola has helped build the Forget Me Not Community from the ground up with most sessions being full and welcoming everyone who needs support!

The Forget Me Not Community Hub runs every Monday, Thursday and Friday, 2-4pm, at these locations:

• Dementia Hub at 51 Eastgate, Cowbridge, CF71 7EL (Monday & Thursday)
• The Dusty Forge, in association with Ace, 460 Cowbridge Rd West, Cardiff CF5 5BZ (Friday)

There is no charge for the hub and we serve tea and biscuits with plenty of laughter. We sometimes have local visitors too, like the local therapy massage practitioner to give free hand massages, the local police officer to tell us about "What's going on" and even the local choir!

It really is a fabulous place to be and absolutely everyone is welcome.

We would love to see you there!
