Residents from an Andover care home marked their final community outing of 2025 with a special visit to the University of Winchester, where they joined the Memory Choir for a festive and uplifting singing session.
Residents from Millway House took part in the visit, celebrating the end of the year by singing alongside the much-loved Memory Choir, an organisation dedicated to improving the wellbeing of people living with dementia through group singing.
The Memory Choir visits Millway House each month to deliver structured singing sessions designed to stimulate memory, encourage social connection and support overall wellbeing. The sessions have become a firm favourite with residents, many of whom look forward to the joy and sense of togetherness that music brings.
The end-of-year trip gave residents the opportunity to visit Winchester, meet members of the choir in person, enjoy familiar songs and share in a relaxed and welcoming musical environment.
Sarah Holland, Activities Manager at Millway House, said:
“We’re so grateful for our continued partnership with The Memory Choir. Their monthly visits bring so much joy to our residents, and this special end-of-year outing was a meaningful way to celebrate the positive impact of music on memory and wellbeing and look back at the year gone by.”
Millway House thanked both The Memory Choir and the University of Winchester for warmly welcoming residents and helping to create a memorable and uplifting finale to the year.
