WORKSHOPS for People with Dementia and their Carers.
These workshops provided by the Brain Charity are for people with dementia and carers, to help improve mobility and communication through the love of music. Workshops are free, and this is a lovely communal way of getting access to both Physiotherapy and Speech & Language therapy.
MUSIC MAKES US SING
Wednesdays 10:15 for 10.30 start, Finish 11:30 until 13th March at The Brain Charity, Norton Street, Liverpool, L3 8LR
The aim of these fun, relaxed sessions. is to develop communication abilities and boost confidence. No singing experience is necessary! This is also a good opportunity to engage in a socially inclusive vital therapy, which many individuals do not currently have access to.
MUSIC MAKES US DANCE
Wednesdays 14:15 for 14:30 Start, Finish 14:30 until 27th March at Merseyside Dance Initiative (MDI), 24 Hope St, Liverpool L1 9BX
