Oh this is so sad. A long time ago now I wrote about Simona and the Healthy Living Club in Lambeth, see here:

I arrived at Lambeth’s Healthy Living Club at the same time as 75-year-old William. He couldn’t find his wallet to pay for his transport. No matter, Dave Bell, a volunteer, was on hand to lend him...
@DiverseAlz Simona Flavio & Healthy Living Club were WONDERFUL. I had huge privilege of visiting HLCLC several times & being a champion in whatever way I could. I was so sorry to see this fabulous club eventually folded through lack of sustainable funding. #Dementia.
