Music Morning
July 29, 2026

Today at the Time Out Club we had another fabulous visit from the Wesley Ukulele Band. Our clients always thoroughly enjoy this music session. It gives us a chance to get our musical instruments out so everyone can feel involved. Being part of group activities provide major benefits including improved social connection and enhanced brain stimulation. Taking part in shared experiences helps people stay active and feel valued. The Ukulele is classed as one of the happiest instruments due to its bright sound.

With years of experience, we have learned how music is a powerful tool for people living with Dementia because it improves wellbeing, can trigger long term memories and reduce anxiety.

Singing uses different parts of the brain than regular speech, we are already looking forward to their next visit.

What a fabulous start to 2026 we have had here at The Time Out Club. All our usual annual celebrations that always bring added joy to all our clients. With the addition of the World Cup, that didn’t end the way we had all hoped. Trying out new activities and new recipes especially for desserts. Enjoying our regular visits from local music groups, along with running our own music sessions. When it was time to start thinking about the weather warming up we obviously took great pride in getting our beautiful garden ready. Only to have to look at it from our wonderful, air-conditioned building due to the prolonged heatwave. To ensure our clients and staff stayed hydrated during this period we were buying 80 ice lollies a week. We have proudly raised money with the help of our wonderful Clients and their families for Alzheimer’s society a charity close to all our hearts. Huge thank you all again. As we look towards the end of July we are preparing for our 9th Birthday Celebrations. Which we are very proud and excited about. Watch this space for lots more to come.

National Picnic Month - July This month is a celebration dedicated to the joys of picnicking and spending time outdoors with family and friends. With this in mind we have decided to celebrate by having a picnic every week on a different day so all our clients get to enjoy it. Picnics offer a wealth of benefits for both physical and mental wellbeing. They provide opportunities to connect with nature, strengthen bonds with loved ones, and enjoy delicious food in a relaxed setting. Furthermore, picnics can boost mood, reduce stress and promote physical activity while connecting with nature.
