The hosts gave them a guided tour of the facility, where the committee members saw firsthand the critical role the charity plays in the community. Forget Me Not: Professional medical oversight and community support The Forget Me Not charity, located at the Camposol Cultural Centre, Sector B, holds specialised sessions every Monday and Thursday in order to help individuals facing a wide variety of health conditions, including and especially dementia. The charity offers care, gatherings, or even companionship and a friendly chat for those who
are struggling with health conditions, or to their family members. These gatherings are often accompanied by fun and creative activities, including interactive arts and crafts tables, engaging games, and even occasional live entertainment. During these gatherings, the charity also provides the expert care of a qualified nurse, who attends both weekly sessions. Additionally, Forget Me Not offers a freshly prepared hot meal for everyone who attends. A special gift from HELP Murcia Mar Menor to dementia patients in the area The visit also featured a
heartwarming collaborative touch: the group presented a fabulous, custom-made “Twiddle Blanket,” specifically designed to provide sensory stimulation for dementia patients, which was generously crafted and donated by the talented Judith. This joint effort highlights how local charity networks continue to uplift vulnerable residents across the region.
