Sound Bites Project, Churchill & Warneford Hospitals, Oxford
Sound Bites brings together older people with functional mental health problems from the Fulbrooke Centre and from the community. We get together to sing and use our voices and percussion in the Warneford Hospital Chapel which has a wonderfully warm acoustic (and sometimes a warm floor if the heating has been switched on!) This started as an 8-week pilot running in the autumn 2009, with the project continuing through the spring, and into summer 2010. After a hiatus in Spring 2011, the project was continued in Summer 2011, and will shortly be commencing for another series through January, February and March 2012.
Singing for the Brain, The Alzheimer’s Society
In September 2009 I started to lead a Singing for the Brain group in Grove, funded by The Alzheimer’s Society and the local mental health trust. In January 2010 a further Singing for the Brain group began to meet in Banbury. In January 2011 a group started up in Bicester, and in March 2011 a further group began meeting in Didcot. Singing for the Brain is a singing group for people with memory problems and their carers.
