Anvil Arts Dementia Group Enriches Basingstoke Community with Joy


Let’s Sing for Memories, organised by Home Instead Basingstoke, will take place at The Anvil on Wednesday, August 20.

The event, which also offers a break for family carers, was last held in February and is part of a monthly programme led by Janet Walker and Deanah Lincoln.

Ed Adams, community engagement manager at Anvil Arts, said: “Music doesn’t speak to just your logical mind, but it speaks to your history.

Sharing the sense of togetherness and unity singing as a group is something that we at Anvil Arts wholeheartedly support.”

The sessions include singing, dancing and laughter, giving everyone a chance to relax and enjoy.

Janet said: “We’re incredibly proud to offer something that brings so much happiness. Many of our regulars would otherwise be isolated or stuck at home – but here they find belonging, energy and joy.”

The event is one of several held at venues across Basingstoke.
