Song Haven is a choir for anyone living with dementia, where music becomes a means for connection, expression and joy.

In a supportive environment, choir members will (re)discover the power of song as it enables us to build new memories and friendships through shared melodies.

No prior musical experience is required. Caregivers and family members can participate alongside their loved ones.

Do you find book-clubs leave you wanting more? Are you seeking a more in-depth exploration into literary works? Would you like to share your love of literature with like-minded souls?

Then this course is for you!

Led by Barbara Boxhall, a passionate literature teacher of over 30 years, this course will take you deep into the themes, language and composition of classic and contemporary literary works.

Classes are composed of a small group of literature lovers who will enjoy discussing, analyzing and appreciating the nuances and hidden threads and themes that make up a literary work. Barbara will lead a discussion which invites participants to read, explore and contribute.

You will build connections with your class mates, authors and literary works as well as enjoying a thought-provoking afternoon.

The course runs once every term for 6-weeks on Tuesday afternoons 1pm - 3pm, during which time you will focus on one key text supplemented by other smaller literary pieces.
