Entertaining the Elderly

Are you musically inclined?
Do you enjoy entertaining?
Can you spare a little time to entertain the elderly in full time care?

Friends of the Elderly are developing a programme to find volunteers to bring musical entertainment to the elderly in full time care. There are hundreds of elderly people in full time care that would love a little music and song in their lives.

If you would like to entertain the elderly in your locality, please contact us.

Also - If you work with the elderly and would like to bring them some musical entertainment, check out the list of entertainers below, contact us and we will try to match you with a local volunteer entertainer.
