Sing Healthy Play Happy is a FREE weekly music group for people with dementia and their carers, on Thursday mornings from 5 February 10-11:30am at West Hill Hall, Compton Avenue.

In these fun, gentle and supportive sessions we sing familiar and new songs together; explore instruments and sounds; try out material to use at home; move gently to music; make new friends. Making music together is good for us. It lifts our spirits and helps us relax – it can really take us out of ourselves and give us a break, even for a short while.

Sing Healthy Play Happy is an Open Strings Music CIC project, facilitated by Goldsmiths University of London-trained community musicians Amy Hill and Isabel Emerson, and funded by Sussex Community Foundation, Brighton & Hove City Council, Skipton Grassroots Giving, and the Argus Appeal.
