Making a Difference

Peterborough Palliative Care in Dementia Group ‘Living Well and Dying Well with Dementia’ February 2010 (Alzheimer’s Society)

It was so wonderful to have you all with us at Thursday’s conference – the highlight of the day! You took on such a large and initially reluctant audience and involved them so well. Looking around in Chatanooga choo choo and seeing everyone doing the actions with smiles on their faces is a memory that I will treasure for a long time.

……some of your group had not been singers in the past but learning new skills was possible, and with it came the enjoyment of being part of a group, the possibility of teaching others and the special quality of sharing music. These were all messages that I thought they (the delegates) could take home and remember when looking after people with dementia in future.
