Bright ‘N’ Sparks Dementia Choir

Bright ‘N’ Sparks, Brisbane North Dementia Choir is a group specifically designed to support people with dementia and their carers to live well with dementia. The goal of our choir is to have fun singing and moving together and then to enjoy a well-earned morning tea. Singing in a choir has been proven to improve quality of life, social connectedness and vocal strength so there are other benefits as well!

Our main focus is supporting people living with dementia and their carers but if you feel you might benefit from our program, for example you have an acquired brain injury, please contact the organisers to discuss this further.

9.30 am – 12.00 pm | SCHOOL TERMS | For enquiries, call 3631 7568
