LWwD offers people with dementia the opportunity to participate in community–based social activities including Choir, Physical exercis e, Art, Dance and Bridge groups. The Sweet Memories Choir The Living Well with Dementia Sweet Memories choir came about in response to a voiced need by people with dementia and their carers to have social options based in the community and was the first dementia specific choir in Ireland. The purpose of the choir is to give people an opportunity to come together in a relaxed environment and reconnect through music. Music and singing helps lift mood, provides cognitive stimulation, and supports social interaction. The choir is open to all but is specifically supportive and welcoming to people affected by dementia. We would be delighted to welcome new members to all our activity groups.
