Free and refreshments are available.
Venue: Charter Court, Victoria Street, Gloucester GL1 4EP

Next sessions: 28 August, 25 September, 23 Oct, 27 Nov
It has been noted that residents who have been part of the MT group for more than 6 sessions, appear to be at ease to recognize the songs and to interact more actively with the Carers in a day’s routine. Staff members now understand better the power that music has to make residents find their memories and identity. Staff have started a song with a couple of residents and ending up with 6 or 7 joining in, drawn like magnets.’
