Those caring for someone with dementia in the community
Singing Buddies are community volunteers who give their time to support a chorister, encourage interaction and make sustainable and trusting relationships through the experience of singing together, developing a deeper sense of community.
Those living with and alongside dementia in North Cardiff
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.
