MOVEMENT, MEMORY & COMMUNITY
Forgetful Bandits is a South London cycling community bringing people together through movement while building greater awareness of Alzheimer's and brain health.
01 / Why we exist
THE ROAD GIVES US A PLACE TO START.
Alzheimer's touches individuals, families and entire communities, but taking action can feel distant or overwhelming.
Forgetful Bandits began with a simpler idea: bring people together around something positive and accessible, then turn that shared energy into awareness, learning and practical action. Cycling is our starting point.
