welcome to mindsong
We have been working together to provide a range of music therapy and training in care homes throughout Gloucestershire since 2007.
We work mainly with those who have mid to late-stage dementia.
mindsong began as a pilot project for Three Choirs Festival, Gloucester, as part of their outreach work. 'From small acorns', as the saying goes, and we have grown slowly and steadily into the organisation we are today.
Our website is here to give you information on the work we do, who we all are and to tell you a little more about dementia itself.
If what you want to know is not here feel free to contact one of us by email and we will do our best to provide the answers.
would you like to get involved?
We have a stand in the south cloisters at Worcester Cathedral from today until Saturday 13 August, as part of the Three Choirs Festival. You may find one of us there before an event, but if not pick up a leaflet.
The best way to find out about us is to join us. You may want to become a volunteer, or be a fundraiser or perhaps take on some of the admin. Whatever your skills, if you would like to be part of mindsong, then we would like to hear from you.
This is the year that mindsong becomes a charity in its own right although we will still have very close links with Three Choirs Festival, Gloucester as we are passionate about working with such a fantastic organisation.
We hope to make this all happen in the Autumn and will be looking for some special people to join our board of trustees. We will post details on this site in the next month or so.
projects for 2012
There are many changes afoot here at mindsong and we have lots of interesting ideas for next year.
mingsong sings together
Brainchild of our lead therapist, this new project (we have yet to name it properly) aims to bring together residents, their relatives and carers, to sing, together. from homes that we have worked with, to sing, together, in The Chapter House at Gloucester Cathedral . One big glorious chorus. We think it will be such a joyous thing to do and will be posting details shortly.
More to come so bookmark us and keep taking a peek.
