Our Chosen Charity

For each of our Events since 2015 we have chosen one or two Charities to benefit from the funds raised during the evening. So far we have donated to Alzheimer Scotland, Dementia UK, Alzheimer’s Research UK and Alzheimer’s Society. In total, just under £6,000.

For our next event in Wetheringsett-cum-Brockford, Suffolk, we have a chosen a smaller, local organisation and will be supporting The Debenham Project. The aim of the project is to support carers and those living with dementia in Debenham and surrounding villages. They are a registered Charity (Number 1133501) which started out in 2009 and has become recognised as an example of innovation and best practice across Suffolk and beyond.

The money raised during the evening, from ticket sales, raffles and other surprises, as well as our Just Giving page will be handed over to The Debenham Project just as soon after the event as possible.

In Public for the First Time!

Tickets Now Available!

Since moving to Cornwall, we have been looking at ways to make life easier and allow more time for things we enjoy (highly recommended, if you are able to do this!). With this in mind we have teamed up with the Cornish Riviera Box Office who will be handling our ticket sales for Memory Fest – Cornwall.

So, it is all set up for you to book your Tickets online and either download them or request that they are sent out in the post (this will cost an extra £1 for the admin involved).

We hope ticket sales are going to go very well, remember it is a Live Music event sponsored by Penlee Residential Care Home, with Broken Down playing at The Lugger Inn in Penzance on 16 May 2020 to raise much needed awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s Society – there will be lots of fun and laughter to be had by One and All, and all held together by Gray Lightfoot!

Just Giving

Just Giving

Just GivingWe realise that not everyone will be able to get along to our Live Music Event on 16 May 2020, and so we have set up our Just Giving page for our chosen Charity, Alzheimer’s Society for anyone that may like to leave a donation.

We are grateful for every and any donation, no matter how large or small, and every last penny will go directly to support Alzheimer’s Society and the work they carry out.

Also to Elinor for this Wacky Wobbler! I’m sure this is a collectable and someone will be happy to win this, eiher for themselves or for some DC Comics enthusiast!

What about some Eau de Whatsit? Lovely smelly stuff for someone to win – thanks again to Elinor for this one!

Cuddly Bear

Cuddly BearIt’s …………….. oh, no, we can’t tell you who it is, can we?

You will have to come along this evening to Memory Fest ’17 to have the chance to guess this Cuddly’s name.

Once again, we will be running this like a ‘football card’. One of our Team will be coming around the tables offering everyone the chance to join in.

For only £2 you can choose one of the 96 names on the card. At the end of the night we will reveal the name and the person who has chosen the correct name will walk away with £42 with remainder of the pot going to our Chosen Charities, Alzheimer Scotland.

Thanks to cousin Irene who kindly donated Miss, Mrs or Mr Cuddly Bear.
