enjoy a cup of tea, a chat and songs
Music24’s Singing Cafés meet twice a month and are open to anyone who is looking for a way get out the house and have more social connections, especially older individuals or those who may be struggling to recover from a health problem and who may be at greater of risk of becoming isolated. Our trained facilitators are also able to support individuals with dementia, Parkinson's Disease, or who have had a stroke.
Our sessions last for 90 minutes with a break for refreshments and follow a standard structure:
• an initial period for chatting with tea/coffee
• a gentle physical and vocal warm up
• singing songs that have been chosen by the participants
• tea/coffee and cake break
• dancing to familiar songs.
Our sessions are run by two facilitators and supported by volunteers from the local community. We also encourage carers to stay and take part as well.
