Melodies Remembered is a fun, sociable, fortnightly singing group for people living with dementia and their carers. It gives those who are experiencing memory loss a way to express themselves and socialise in a supportive and enjoyable way. The group meets every other Thursday from 2-4 pm in the function room at Shaftesbury Football Club.
A team of wonderful volunteers supports the fortnightly sessions, and more help is always welcome. As a volunteer the ability to sing is not required, just a willingness to help and wish to talk with the participants and their carers to make them feel welcome and safe.

Good afternoon
The Southern Coop Funeralcare branch team in Shaftesbury are keen to become more involved with our local community, and have been given a small budget to be able to provide some of our time and/or refreshments to support local events and groups. I wondered if we could help with the Melodies Remembered group in any way – either with volunteering our time to make and/or provide tea, coffee and biscuits?
Please let me know if we can be of help in any way.
Kind regards
