Songs & Smiles

An intergenerational music group for 0-4 year olds, their grown-ups and older people, held in care homes and assisted living schemes.

We sing, move, play, make friends and have lots of fun!

The sessions

The sessions make people dance with joy, cry with laughter and create long lasting friendships so everyone has something special to look forward to. They are relaxed and informal and we even provide refreshments at the end!

What to expect

From colourful scarves and shakers to bubble machines and action songs, there's plenty to stimulate the imagination and senses. Our sessions are informal and relaxed, they have been designed by specialists to make them engaging and interactive for the youngest through to the
oldest members of the group.

The 60 minute sessions will enable you to make some new friends, while singing some of our favourite songs.

Our mission is for everyone to come away smiling, and we mean everyone - tiny babies, on-the-go toddlers, parents and guardians, older residents, people living with dementia, care home staff and our volunteers - we all have a great time.

Guide for parents/guardians

One of the many benefits of Songs & Smiles is that it opens up care homes and assisted living schemes to the community, allowing people who might not ordinarily come into contact to get to know each other. For some, visiting these types of residences can be quite an unfamiliar activity. You might feel a little unsure of what to expect or how best to interact with the people you’ll meet. We hope that this guide will help you to get the most out of your visit.
