We’re really grateful for the support we received from members of the Tettenhall Inner Wheel Club at this years Santa Sleigh collections – to recognise their invaluable help we’ve made a joint donation to one of their nominated charities, the Wolverhampton Grand Theatre Memory Café.
These cafés provide an opportunity for people living with dementia to enjoy the magic of live music, free refreshments and a safe space to socialise with people in a similar situation.
Music has been proven to have transformative affects on people living with dementia, helping to improve cognitive function, boost mood and behaviour and improve thinking and feeling. The entertainment features a variety of genres such as Motown, Gospel, Bollywood, Bhangra, Music Hall and 40s-60s music with professional performers.
Our donation and those of the Theatre’s other supporters mean that the cafés are free to attend.
If you know someone who’d like to attend you can book free tickets through the Theatre’s Outreach team by emailing access@grandtheatre.co.uk or calling 01902 57 33 20.
