Forget Me Not Bicester is a local community charity and social enterprise dedicated to reducing loneliness and social isolation among older people in and around Bicester. Founded in 2017, the organisation provides friendship, companionship, and meaningful activities for elderly residents, including those living with dementia or other age-related conditions.
Purpose and Mission
The core mission of Forget Me Not Bicester is to ensure that older people remain connected, valued, and supported within their community. Many elderly individuals experience isolation due to bereavement, reduced mobility, illness, or family living far away. The charity aims to address this by creating a welcoming environment where people can build friendships, enjoy stimulating activities, and regain a sense of belonging.
Their work also benefits carers by offering them valuable respite time, knowing that their loved ones are in a safe and engaging setting.
What the Charity Does
Lunch and Friendship Clubs
Forget Me Not Bicester runs regular lunch clubs where members can enjoy a nutritious meal together in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. These sessions are much more than just meals—they are opportunities for conversation, laughter, and companionship.
Social Activities
The charity organises a wide range of activities designed to promote mental stimulation and enjoyment, such as:
- Arts and crafts
- Music and singing
- Quiz sessions
- Gentle exercise
- Guest speakers
- Seasonal celebrations
- Day trips and outings
These activities help maintain cognitive function, boost mood, and encourage social interaction.
