The latest session on Wednesday, 21st February, showcased the musical talents and arts & crafts of Handmade Theatre.

It’s a testament to the wonderful moments and friendships that have blossomed during their engaging sessions.”

Residents actively participate in singing, dancing, and even solo performances, showcasing newfound confidence. The arts & crafts sessions that follow are a testament to the creativity and joy these interactions inspire.
Maisy continued, “The love and energy shared during Handmade Theatre sessions have been captured in these sing-along books, allowing others to witness the beauty of connection through music and arts. We hope our photos inspire others to embrace the power of music and arts in lighting up rooms and creating beautiful smiles, regardless of age.”
