Memory Lane Café Annual Report July 2024 – June 2025
What a year 2024-25 has been with the café proving so popular as we have so much laughter and fun.
Our first event was a BBQ put on by the Henley Chefs for our 7[th] birthday; this was very popular with over 50 members attending.
Our weekly entertainers are always a hit, with Andy (Elvis) Ottley being one of our favourites and Lynnette and Emma from Dance East Care to Dance program it is always good to get some proper controlled exercises. Our folk get up and dance as soon as our entertainers start to sing. Our regular visits from Vicky Hosking A local solicitor who runs a legal clinic to answer any legal questions our members have and Sally from Suffolk Family Carers with a carer’s clinic.
Maria & Dianne have organised three outings this year, we hire a bus so we can all go together, fish & Chips at Aldeburgh is always tasty, followed by tea and cake at Thorpeness Mere. We also went to Stonham Barns for lunch and a visit to the Owl Sanctury.
Sandra & Tina did a presentation to the Northwest Ipswich Big Local Trust at a dragon’s den type of event and came away with just over £9000 pounds which was amazing. we have also had some large donations from Crane Ltd, EADT, Cash for charities and several wakes where people have left us money. Without these donations we wouldn’t be able to exist the way we do
Our first holiday to Gunton Hall proved a huge success so we are repeating again this year with even more people wanting to join us.
I would like to thank our amazing volunteers that support us every week we couldn’t do it without you.
