Our Dementia Choir brings people living with dementia, their families, friends and carers together through the power of music. Founded by Nottingham actress Vicky McClure to create connection, joy and understanding, the choir provides a safe and welcoming space where members can build confidence, reduce isolation and enjoy the emotional and social benefits that music can bring.

One use per customer and is not applicable to existing or third-party bookings. The 5% discount code is valid only for bookings made directly with Skills Holidays.
