Lyrics and Lunch
Lyrics and Lunch is a group for those living with dementia and their carers, running at St Chad’s Church Hall, Torrisholme Road, Lancaster LA1 2RJ. We meet twice a month on Tuesdays starting at 12.15pm. The group is an initiative of St Thomas’ Church running in conjunction with St Chad's.
This is a singing and music group where we sing old, familiar songs and learn a few new ones. We have a go at singing simple rounds and at playing percussion instruments along with some of the songs.
-
We begin with lunch at 12.15pm. This is home-made soup, sandwiches, home-made cake, fresh fruit and tea and coffee..
-
Singing and lots of fun and laughter follows lunch and lasts for about an hour, meaning the group finishes at around 2.15pm.
-
The cost is £3 per person. This is to cover the cost of food and other expenses.
