• help members, including the carers, to feel at ease

Experience and an insight into dementia is useful, but not essential, as support and information will be provided.

Organisation aims and objectives

Stonehouse Jubilee Club offers a social afternoon in a supportive setting. Each week they provide a variety of activities and fun, from reminiscence quizzes to musical entertainment. Research has shown that a part of the brain can store words and music in the long-term memory. Also, music, in particular singalongs, creates a "feel good" factor and is the main focus of the group due to the link between music and memory. People love to talk about the past and our reminiscence quizzes are designed for fun. Carers get the chance to chat with each other, supporting and advising, while our team of enthusiastic volunteers make sure that no-one is sitting alone.
