The weekly cafe at the Jubilee Centre, Mosley Avenue, Bury is an opportunity for people with dementia to communicate, express themselves and have fun using percussion instruments.
It is free and starts on Tuesday 15 October. Doors open at 3pm for free tea and coffee and the music sessions run from 3.30-4.30pm – no experience is required!
Music cafes are organised and run by Manchester Camerata’s Music in Mind programme. There are several across Greater Manchester and they use music therapy-based principles to improve the health and wellbeing of people with dementia and their carers.
Caeres and loved ones can also find out more about other support in their area.
These are some of the quotes from people whose loved-ones have attended:
“A little piece of heaven in our week.”
“It’s so lovely to see the joy the sessions bring to him and others.”
“We enjoy seeing mum enjoy herself…we never stop smiling.”
“The sessions are full of playfulness, laughter, tears. They are so inclusive and so much fun.”
