The Forget Me Nots

The Forget Me Nots The Forget Me Nots Choir unites older people with family, friends and neighbours and has a special welcome for those affected by memory loss.

The Forget Me Nots Choir meets in Baldoyle Community Hall every Tuesday from 11am to 12.30pm. It is an inclusive choir that unites older people with family, neighbours and friends, and which is particularly welcoming to those affected by dementia or memory loss. Participants are drawn from the community as well as the HSE Day Care Centres and Alzheimer's Society Social Clubs in the Dublin NorthEast region. The aims of the choir are:

1. To extend access to a quality, professionally managed Arts activity for the continued self-growth and creative enrichment of our members.
2. To promote wellbeing and happiness through song (as gaeilge freisin) and through social inclusion in our community.
3. To record and share any anecdotal or empirical learning we gain regarding the benefits of this project for our members and for the wider community. The choir got its inspiration from The Unforgettables Chorus founded in New York in 2011 by Dr. Mary Mittelman of NYU Langone Medical Centre’s Comprehensive Centre on Brain Aging. Norah Walsh, Musical Director and Emmet O'Connor, Piano Accompanist are both highly distinguished music professionals. The Forget Me Nots is the first choir of its kind in Dublin's Northside and aims to interact with the community to raise awareness about memory loss conditions and our seniors' special place in our community.

There aren't enough words to do justice to the joy, pride and gratitude we feel for being part of a project for the last two years, co-facilitiated with Community Arts Partnership, Belfast with the 'This is Me' choir and The Music Yard from Larne.

The project, funded and supported by Creative Ireland and supported locally by Fingal County Council culimated in a Gala Concert in historic Stormont yesterday.

We were joined by superb musicians Shane McVicker on piano, Brian Fleming on bodhrán, Richard Aitcheson on fife and lambeg drum and Robert Harvey on flute.

So many fabulous memories and firm friendships made over the two years. Thank you to everyone who made this possible.
❤
