Our group was launched as "Singing for the Brain" by Eliza Wylie and Emma Wheat in Wells in January 2022 for those affected by Dementia and their carers. We started with 4 members and have now grown to up to 40 and our groups include a diverse range of people affected by memory loss and their families as well as younger people with additional needs. Joanne Coomber came on board and she and Emma launched a Glastonbury group in January 2023. Our groups are very inclusive and welcome people of all ages who want to join our community.
