My running journey resumes tomorrow after two years. Running the @RoyalParksHalf in hope for a world without dementia and in memory of my wonderful Nan ❤️. Raising money for @Arts4Dementia who do vital work with the arts to help those living with dementia. https://t.co/7ZVWk1Ayop

Wondering if it might now be okay to offer small group, socially distanced, outdoor music sessions for dementia, wellbeing & more. So many people now desperate to see ‘real’ people! Visors, face masks and risk assessment standing by. Discuss... #artsforhealth #communitymusic

@kcrgray Definitely interested

“These are extraordinary times for our nation and the rest of the world, but they show that we need music and the creative industries more than ever. This year it is not going to be the Proms as we know them, but the Proms as we need them.”

If you are interested in my 1-2-1 or group music sessions for individuals, care homes and assisted living establishments, pls get in touch. @Music4MemoryUK primarily works with people with #dementia and #alzheimers through music, but the online sessions really can benefit anyone.

[MusicForMemory @Music4MemoryUK]

During this time of social distancing and shielding of the vulnerable, collective music-making & shared creativity is more important than ever. I’m now offering @Music4MemoryUK online & tailor-made 1-2-1 and group music sessions. To book, pls email - [email protected]

Absolutely love this. Bravo @GarethMalone! If you’re missing your choir, love a good sing or have never sung before, join Gareth daily at 530pm @youtube. Singing is great for the mind, body and soul, especially at times like this. It’ll make you feel better. #music #mentalhealth

[MusicForMemory @Music4MemoryUK]

Plenty of carols and cakes with these two lovely @Music4MemoryUK groups today and £150 raised for the wonderful @Arts4Dementia charity 🎄🎶🌟. #music #arts #charitytuesday #musicformemory #dementia #Alzheimers

"Singing together is a fundamental part of being human. Like dancing and laughing, it’s best when shared with other people."

Lovely article by @jsillsmusic on the power of singing to bring people together in @PositiveNewsUK.
