A MUSIC charity in North Yorkshire is to set up a new singing group, specifically for people with dementia and their carers.

North Yorkshire Music Therapy Centre is to launch ‘The Sunshine Singers’, which will be facilitated by choir leader Alison Davis.

The centre is a charity that has been providing music therapy to people across North Yorkshire for over 30 years.

It also provides group music sessions at its own premises, in Wath Court, Hovingham, and across the region.
