A fortnightly music group for people with memory loss is set to host a Remembrance Day event.

Age UK Wyvern has been running its group, Music Connect, at Elgar Court Residential Home in Malvern for a year.

The group aims to help people stay connected to their community by coming together to enjoy music.

The care home is now the official partner of the organisation's Music Connect service.

Mark Tandy, dementia wellbeing support advisor at the organisation, said: "We are delighted to be an official partner with Elgar Court in Malvern, and want to encourage everyone living with memory loss to come together and make new friends at this supportive and above all, fun group."

Sarah Cadwallader, general manager at the care home, said: "We understand that engaging people living with dementia through singing, dancing or playing instruments, really can develop and maintain relationships with others and improve their wellbeing.

"And it’s so rewarding to see how much everyone enjoys coming to these groups including our residents."

The next Music Connect session will take place on Friday, November 8 and will honour Remembrance Day.

The D-Day Dollies will also come along to perform songs from the wartime era.

The events are open to all members of the community and are free to attend.

They take place every other Wednesday from 10am until 12pm at the care home on St Andrews Road.
