Good afternoon,
We wanted to bring to your attention a new community music group for those living with dementia, starting tomorrow in Norwich.
In Time Together is a welcoming and inclusive group where participants are supported to sing familiar songs, try a range of instruments or just soak up the atmosphere. Followed by a cup a tea!
Musical Keys have been working in dozens of residential care homes across Norfolk for many years and we're delighted to be able to launch a version of this work based in - and for - the community.
The group will meet on the first Friday of the month from 10:30 - 11:15, followed by refreshments. The group takes place at Martineau Hall, 21 Colegate, NR3 1BN. The venue is warm and welcoming, and fully accessible.
