Our project started in late 2015 when we sang Christmas carols at a local Care home where a friend of ours works. The residents really enjoyed it. We extended our repertoire and then did a similar session at a local care home where a family relative is a resident.This relative suffered with Dementia but we realised that music was a wonderful therapy to her and of course to other residents.

 We now are closely involved at several different local care homes, day centres, memory cafes, community groups and sheltered accommodation and hope to take on more this year. We have invested in some sound equipment which has helped greatly with the quality of the music. We have been well received and realised that the residents look forward to us coming back. We perform mainly songs from the 50s and 60s and it is wonderful to see residents joining in with the singing and joining in with maracas and twirling ribbons which we distribute during the session. Those affected by Dementia can often sing a song they remember from their teens word for word perfect. We have a repertoire of over a hundred songs to choose from.  Thankyou so much for your continuing support.
