JEWISH CARE on the SOUTH COAST
Jewish Care is launching their Spring programme, which includes a new singing group called Singing for Memory. Singing for Memory is a new group that meets weekly on a Monday afternoon and is deigned for those living with memory loss or dementia and their caregivers within the Jewish community on the South Coast.
Several scientific studies have looked into the cognitive, psychological, and behavioural impacts of singing and music on those with memory loss or dementia. Singing has a dual benefit for both those who are have dementia or memory loss and those who care for an individual with dementia or memory loss.
According to one study (Jeffries, Fritz, & Braun, 2003) singing combines language, music, and instinctive behaviour and responses to enhance neurological stimulation - which means that singing is a versatile way to prompt brain activity. The new Jewish Care group Singing for Memory is a group activity, and group musical interventions may help to improve social interaction between people with dementia as it reduces the level of agitation and can promote relaxation (Lin et al., 2011).
​
The new Jewish Care Singing for Memory group meets every Monday between 2pm and 3pm. The first session is 23 February 2026.
