UN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
DESCRIPTION

Patients with dementia are extremely vulnerable in hospitals and we seek to address the danger of rapid decline by encouraging physical mobility through appropriate movement and active engagement and participation to benefit cognitive abilities. Our carefully crafted programme of music & movement offers a means of enhancing care and most importantly, does so without adding additional burden on healthcare staff.

DESCRIPTION

Led by a team of highly-trained musicians, our weekly singing sessions energise, engage, and empower those with dementia and those who love and care for them. It’s so much more than simply singing old songs, or bringing back memories. We commission and perform new pieces that celebrate our choristers and share their experiences with the wider community. It's about creating new memories, enjoying new experiences, and celebrating life in the moment.
