ISSUE #1.39: 02 August 2024

Dear Friends,

Here is the weekly line up for this week…

With love,
Caraway Dementia Action Group

Monday 05 August
Singing By Heart: Hedge End Salvation Army, White’s Way SO30 2GL, from 11.00-12.00 with sandwiches and cake or biscuit and drink after. Singing by Heart is an hour session singing a mixture of Christian songs and well-known secular songs that people with dementia will know and be able to interact with. It includes a Bible verse before each song and an online prayer after each song and ends each session with The Lord’s Prayer. It isn’t a memory café but any after activity such as light refreshments will afford the opportunity to engage fully with our volunteers.
