Pop along to their Open Day on April 3 between 10.00am and 3.00pm to find out more information about the new venture entitled Forget Me Not. The Open Day is being held at the HELP Activity Centre, La Xara, Avda Oeste 29.

The Activity Centre will open its doors every Monday and Thursday to offer five hours daily of Englishspeaking respite care. A light lunch will be provided and activities will take place from 10.00am until 3.00pm.

The purpose of the group is for people caring for loved ones with mental health issues such as Dementia and Alzheimer’s to have some respite.
