The project allows people to meet, socialise and engage in an activity in a friendly environment. People can have a good natter, cup of tea and cake and sing songs ranging from The Beatles, Presley and Sinatra to songs dating back to the 30s and 40s.
Project lead Helen Wilson says “Songs for You helps people reconnect and enjoy having quality time together. Singing is a positive and evocative tool helping people with dementia to reconnect themselves and their history through recalled songs and lyrics. These sessions are often their highlight of the week. Having this donation from ASDA Cannock will really help us to continue our sessions.”
The next session in Cannock will be on Tuesday 5th March 2019 1.30pm at St Thomas Church, Dual Way, Stafford Road, Huntington, WS12 4PD.
