We meet every second Thursday of the month at Stratford Methodist Church Hall. Led and delivered by our professional musicians, the sessions include music from many different genres and cultures, both familiar and perhaps unfamiliar, and encourage conversation by sharing life experiences and stories from the past. Attendees can learn or rediscover a musical skill, participate in the composition of new music, sing along to old favourites and create new friendships. Musicians have received Mindsong training, giving them an understanding of creating inclusive and engaging sessions for people living with dementia and their carers.

Volunteer at Café Muse
Do you have a few hours to spare once a month to help at our dementia-friendly participative workshop sessions?
We’re looking for volunteers to help out at our Café Muse sessions, which take place on the second Thursday of the month at Stratford Methodist Church, Warwickshire, between 10:30am-2pm.
Our attendees enjoy a friendly and welcoming face, a good natter over a cup of tea and may even be persuaded to sing and dance – if this is something you could help them to do either regularly or occasionally then you are exactly what we are looking for.
