* Relaunching Autumn 2025 *
Launched in January 2020, Musical Minds is a unique choir for individuals living with dementia or stroke, along with their carers, family, and friends. This inclusive group combines music, movement, and communication to create a supportive and engaging environment.
Music offers powerful benefits for those affected by neurological conditions. For people with dementia, it can evoke memories, boost mood, and reduce anxiety. For stroke survivors, singing supports speech recovery, motor coordination, and emotional well-being.
To aid participation, the choir uses Signalong—a key-word signing method—along with visual aids, making songs more accessible to all. Led by a trained facilitator, Musical Minds helps participants connect, express themselves, and experience the joy of music together.
