Herts Musical Memories

Herts Musical Memories is back at Homewood Road United Reformed Church Hall on Friday 6 November, from 14:15 to 15:45. It's a supported singing group for people living with dementia or memory problems and their carers, built around familiar songs and time to socialise. The session is part of a series running on Fridays through December, with confirmed dates on 4 and 11 December as well.

Each session opens with a social half hour, a chance to catch up and settle in before the singing starts. From there, it moves into seated movement, vocal warm-ups and group singing. The songs are familiar ones, and lyrics are provided, so you don't have to worry about remembering every word. No previous singing experience is needed, and the focus is as much on the company as it is on the music.

New visitors can arrange a free trial to see how it feels. After that, the organiser asks for a £6 contribution from the person living with dementia, while a carer or loved one attends at no charge. It's a session designed for people to come along together.

It runs from 14:15 to 15:45 at Homewood Road United Reformed Church Hall, Homewood Road, St Albans, AL1 4BH, with the next confirmed dates on 4 and 11 December.
