Peter, 82, was diagnosed with vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease in January 2009. He and his wife Sheila, 63, go to their local Memory Café and Singing for the Brain group.
"We're very lucky to have the Memory Café to go to for two hours every week. I take a lot from it because I get to meet other carers and, most importantly, I can relax while I'm there," Sheila.
"Sarah and the volunteers at Singing for the Brain are really good fun. I love singing and have happy memories of
singing with my mother. I always sing when I'm happy. Chris who runs the Memory Café and the volunteers put their whole hearts into it and are very friendly," Peter.
