Singing for the Brain has won the People’s Millions vote for £49,000 of funding

Published 22 November 2010

Singing for the Brain has won £49,000 from the Big Lottery People's Millions to develop more singing groups across Devon & Cornwall. Thank you for your votes and messages of support.

Singing-for-the-brain

Singing for the brain is a unique service provided by Alzheimer's Society which uses singing to bring people together in a friendly and stimulating environment. It helps reduce social isolation and promotes well-being for people living with dementia and their carers. Devon and Cornwall are rural communities with a high incidence of dementia with limited support networks and so these groups are in a great deal of demand.

We are delighted to have the opportunity to expand our services within the region and reach more people with Alzheimer's and their carers.

If you would like to know more about the singing for the brain or other services that are available within the region please visit the local services section of the website.

Once again, thank you very much for your support.
