Friends Coffee Morning at South Ruislip Library

Lynne Kauffman, our Newsletter Editor has asked me to post on the Friends Coffee Mornings held at the South Ruislip Library on a Monday, the local event is for people with dementia and their carers.  The event is run by Hillingdon and is there to offer some support and activities.

The meetup looks like a good opportunity to get out and about and enjoy some good company.
