We are committed to supporting individuals living with dementia, we have delivered a series of impactful projects aimed at fostering connection, joy, and community engagement. At the heart of this provision is the highly successful “Musical Memories on Tour” initiative, a series of lunch clubs hosted at local establishments, featuring live performances tailored to evoke cherished memories through music.
The project combines social interaction with the therapeutic power of music, creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for those living with dementia and their caregivers. The lunch clubs not only provide a meaningful outing but also offer a chance to build connections with others facing similar challenges.
Key Achievements:
Enhanced Wellbeing: Participants have reported improved mood and emotional wellbeing following the sessions, with many expressing feelings of happiness and nostalgia sparked by the music.
Community Building: The initiative has strengthened bonds within the community, connecting individuals and fostering a sense of belonging for attendees and their families.
Support for Caregivers: The lunch clubs offer caregivers a valuable opportunity to relax, socialise, and share experiences, knowing their loved ones are in a safe and stimulating environment.
