Our first Jolly West Moors Day was a great success
We were delighted to welcome so many people to our first session. We celebrated our launch with homemade scones, cream, jam and delicious homemade cakes all washed down with a cup of tea. Everyone enjoyed the activities and joined in with gusto. We started with a good old sing-song led by our lovely Kate followed by a gentle, rejuvenating seated chair yoga session with the wonderful Suzanne.
Launching this new session means we can reach even more people across Dorset. Our mission is to help people both with and without memory los. Through Jolly Days, people make new friends, keep mentally and physically active and try new things.
We’d also like to invite and encourage others to join, and it’s very simple to do. We ask people and carers who’d like to take part to get in touch so that we can ensure our service meets their needs.
Thank you to the Talbot Village Trust for their support. They are a grant-giving charity that funds worthy causes across east Dorset. Trustee Sir Christopher Lees said: “As our population ages, we need to think about how we promote and support activities that stimulate our minds and bodies. It’s been a pleasure to support In Jolly Good Company, who do fantastic work across our county and work with a great range of stakeholders to provide an important service.”
