About The Role
If you are a confident singer and would like to use this skill to make a difference to people living with dementia, then we’d love to hear from you
Singing for the Brain is a structured group session, designed around the principles of music therapy and singing for people with dementia, who may attend alone or with a carer. These uplifting sessions offer the people attending an enjoyable activity, as well as the chance to socialise with other people affected by dementia.
As a Singing for the Brain Facilitator Volunteer, you’ll utilise your musical knowledge and singing skills to support the facilitation and delivery of a programme of songs, musical activities, and physical movements, ensuring sessions are flexible and responsive to the needs and interests of the people attending. You will be instrumental in creating a fun and relaxed atmosphere where people feel supported and safe to engage with the activities, either online or in person.
This volunteering opportunity is community-based in Redditch, taking place on Tuesday mornings (10:00-12:00) during term time (30 sessions a year).
