‘Forget me not’ club meet at the Bistro to support the Charity

• 21 May 2026

As fourteen members of the ‘Forget me not’ group sat around the large table eating lunch in the Bistro, it was clear to see the strong connections that had formed between them.

Over 60 years ago the group was set up for over 55 year olds to meet and socialise in Barrington. Today local residents and those from neighbouring villages still meet at Barrington Village Hall every fortnight from 2.30-4.30pm. They enjoy activities such as curling and a range of different guest speakers often attend.

When they were looking for somewhere different to meet up for lunch, some of the members suggested the Bistro at the Hospice. Some had visited loved ones in the Inpatient Unit and were impressed by the light and spacious Bistro which was open everyday to the general public.

Parking is available onsite for those with a disabled badge or at the Babraham Road Park and Ride car park, just a short walk away.

They all agreed they wanted to support the Charity and some had friends and family who had experienced care both at the Hospice and in the community from the Hospice at Home team. Jim Burton, who helps to organise the outings, said:

“The Bistro is lovely and reasonable. We book a table in advance, as we are a large group and we are always catered for with a varied and enjoyable menu.”
