Home Instead Basingstoke are specialists in the provision of home care for those living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. We approached Milestones Museum about a joint event which would build on the museum’s existing reminiscence offering.
The inaugural Let’s Sing for Memories took place in the museum’s central foyer area in March – and what a success it was! There were around 100 attendees, and everyone had a great time singing and swinging along to old favourites. Councillor Dan Putty (Mayor of Basingstoke & Deane from May ’24), introduced the event and put in a particularly memorable performance leading from the front, and we are all very grateful for his support.
With Milestones Museum we are now staging monthly Let’s Sing events, for smaller pre-booked groups. It is hoped that, as well as providing great therapeutic benefits for those living with dementia, the events will provide valuable support for family carers who will be able to meet and support each other, and discuss dementia care with Home Instead staff.
Attendance is free but by arrangement (because we need to manage numbers) – please text Janet on 07540 975 094 or email [email protected]
