A sing along with the Dementia Choir

Damian with the dementia choir

I spent a joyful morning at the Ministry of Justice singing with the Memory Choir as part of Dementia Action week.  Singing is such an uplifting experience and it's even more so for the families of those living with dementia who can enjoy this experience together, creating a shared bond.   I had the pleasure of meeting the choir's founder, Kim, and she allowed me to join in with some Elvis and 60s gold!
