Story:
Bring Me Sunshine was set up to provide entertainment and music therapy for people with Dementia, Alzheimers and Parkisnons, living in care homes.
These conditions do not just steal our memories, they create confusion, sometimes hearing and sight impairment, combined with anxiety. Our performances and shows are fun and offer a great sensory experience and we strive to include everyone. Music truly is a magical gift. With each performance we see amazing transformations. Loved ones who now spend their days quiet and withdrawn due to these conditions, suddenly come alive and reminisce through the power of music. The joy this creates between families is amazing.We have grown to be so much more than a service. Our performances now enable families to come together in a safe environment to create wonderful new memories with loved ones who now find it very difficult in social situations. Where possible entertainment is currently being provided from outside the care homes (”through the window performances”) where residents are safely inside observing social distancing rules.
Thanks so much for your help and support.
