NW EDINBURGH FOR PEOPLE WITH DEMENTIA & THEIR CARER(S)
The Inverleith Group has been running since June 2010 meeting at 2.00 pm on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month. We currently meet at Inverleith St Serf's Church Hall on Clark Road, Edinburgh. The NW Edinburgh Group started in May 2018 and meet on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month at Drylaw Parish Church.
The group is for people with dementia, and their carers, who still live at home in the community. Research has indicated that people with dementia leave singing groups 'on a high' and this positive mood can last for some time after each session. This is also good for the well being of the carer.
The group come together to sing with emphasis on enjoyment and fun. Volunteers are on hand but those with dementia should be accompanied. There is no charge for attending the Singing Sessions, but a donation for refreshments is appreciated.
The group meet for coffee and conversation at first, giving people a chance to socialise. Support is also available from volunteers and other families. When singing begins, we sit in a circle ensuring that everyone is equal and not identified by their illness. We then sing along together for around 45 minutes, led by 'music volunteers'.
The group was started by a small number of individuals in who understood the importance of music and singing with people with Dementia. All our Volunteers undergo Dementia Awareness Training.
