34 members and Guest Speaker Fiona Mahoney enjoyed a home-cooked meal prepared and served by Inner Wheel members at Norton Fitzwarren Village Hall. President Colin summoned the waitresses and scullery maids to the dining room to be praised and thanked for their efforts, and said that we all hoped that the profits on our meal would be a welcome contribution to their Club’s Charity.
Reminiscence Learning’s CEO Fiona then gave an update on the progress of her brainchild. She said that thanks to the support of Past Pres Paul, and our funds from 2015 Moonraker, they had gone from strength to strength with over 40 projects across the country. A chain of Care Homes now used their programme to train staff in understanding Dementia, and there were a number of schools who used her stories and illustrations in “Health and Wellbeing” classes to great effect. Link-ups with Northtown School and Abbeyfield had benefitted both residents and pupils.
