🧠 Why Memory Groups Matter

Being with others reduces loneliness, which is linked to better mental health and memory.

Group settings help catch memory issues early and offer encouragement.

Sharing experiences and learning together helps older adults feel empowered and supported.

Memory groups aren't just helpful — they’re powerful. For the mind, the heart, and the soul. 🧡

In any chosen setting, musicians need to be mindful of safeguarding and in keeping themselves safe.

Whether working/volunteering in a primary or secondary school, teaching as part of a charity or not- for-profit music school, or just tutoring privately , musician should always be clear on the safeguarding procedures.
