We’re back with The Forget Me Notes Project for Together in Song, our monthly dementia friendly concert Capital Theatres: Festival, King’s & Studio. We’re two songs in and I’m already teary. There’s something so moving about this group of people singing together, it gets me every single time.
Such a privilege being back at Capital Theatres: Festival, King’s & Studio for Together in Song

'When covid happened, I thought 'Where are all my friends?' - and then I found the choir' - sharing the power of music to reduce isolation. 'As long as we‘re all singing from the same hymn sheet, then we‘re a community' - The Forget Me Notes Project's music workshop at #ScotDementiaFest 🎼
'It’s important to create an environment that includes, rather than excludes. Inclusion can be an overused word. For me, it’s about being interested in each other' - Paul from The Forget Me Notes Project speaking at the #ScotDementiaFest
To highlight the power of community support, Alan of The Forget Me Notes Project led the group in a rendition of 'You Raise Me Up' 🎼🎶 Be warned, you cannot watch this video without a tear in your eye 😭 #ScotDementiaFest #Dementia
Fantastic session from The Forget Me Notes Project about what music means to us as individuals and how music can bring us together to create a community. How community can raise us up, bring us together and help us communicate on an emotional level. 🎶💚 #ScotDementiaFest

It was great to attend The Forget Me Notes Project at the St Brides Centre - I heard and saw first hand about the work they do using music to build an inclusive community of "warmth, openness and understanding". We are a project that is built upon dementia-friendly values, and is open to all -
