It's ! If you have the time, consider taking a few minutes to read up on ways to support the wellbeing of people living with dementia in our society. There's loads of information available online and Alzheimer's Society website is a good place to start - https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/about-dementia/types-dementia/what-is-dementia

If you feel like doing more, perhaps you could spread the word about our free Music Workshops on Fridays 1-3pm at Ladybarn Community Hub every week, or consider donating to SoundUp Arts to support our work bringing music and creative activities to people affected by dementia, both online and in person. You can donate here: shorturl.at/jrsv7

Here is a video loved by many of our SoundUp members - The Hello Song, featuring founder Lucy Temby and pianist Ranald McCusker!

SoundUp at Ladybarn is back!

Rhiannon and Rachel had a brilliant time exploring the Gilbert & Sullivan show 'Iolanthe' with the wonderful Ladybarn group yesterday - the session featured ribbon dancing, learning how to sing 'patter songs' (lots of words sung very quickly), and a game of Fairy Consequences with hilarious/slightly terrifying results...

Do you know an older person who loves music? Our fun and friendly music group meets every Friday at Ladybarn Community Hub in Fallowfield, Manchester 1-3pm. There's no charge to take part and all are welcome! Send us a message or email [email protected] to find out more 😊

What a beautiful Jubilee celebration to be part of at Belong Morris Feinmann on Wednesday! Angela and the team put on an absolutely amazing spread (complete with ice cream van!) for residents and staff, and it felt so joyous to sing and laugh with wonderful people celebrating the Queen's Platinum Jubilee!

Rachel, Ruby, and Tom had everyone joining in with a mixture of British favourites, famous opera arias, our own version of 'Wouldn't it be loverley', and songs from musicals, as well as two rounds of the Jubilee anthem - Sweet Caroline!

Happy Jubilee weekend from all of us at SoundUp!
