Our sessions
Music for the Memory brings people with dementia and their carers together with others, in a supportive community. Through our musical activities, we provide a friendly and stimulating social environment, in a relaxed atmosphere, for all to enjoy.
The benefits
More than just a sing-a-long, our music is specially selected. Even when many memories are hard to retrieve, music is easier to recall. Singing itself involves deep breathing, a relaxation technique reducing anxiety and releasing endorphins, the brain's 'feel-good' chemicals. These give an overall 'lifted' feeling and are known to reduce stress. Both the carer and the cared-for enjoy our sessions.
