Benefits of singing for dementia

RESEARCHERS AT the University of Nottingham are looking for people to take part in a new study about the benefits of community group singing for those who have been diagnosed with dementia.

The singing groups will take place in

Mountsorrel at the Memorial Centre on Tuesday mornings from 11am -12.30pm and will be relaxed, fun and informal.

You don't need to have any previous experience of singing to take part.

Do you have a diagnosis of dementia?

Do you have a carer who can attend the singing group with you?

Do you feel able to come to a weekly singing group for 10 weeks?

If the answer is yes, then you could be eligible to take part in the study.

Get in touch before June 30 for more information:

Planning for what became Danvers Road is mentioned in the report of a dinner in June 1896, at which Mr Robert Frewen Martin, then the Managing Director of the Mountsorrel Granite Co, said that: “It was a source of pleasure to him to see working-men, erecting their own houses. It was his intention to form a land society of his own, and land for that purpose had been purchased at the south end of Mountsorrel. A new street would be made to connect Rothley Lane with the Leicester Road. The offers of the freeholds would be made to their own workmen at 1s. per yard, and no other charge would be made for the new road, sewer or transfer, and the land would be outside

It was one of the grandest things in the world to see working men living in their own houses, and it would conduce much to the prosperity of the country.”
