About
Memory Makers Fife is for anyone in the North East Fife community experiencing loneliness or living with a long-term illness such as dementia. We are open to anyone who would like to join and aim to tailor our sessions to the musical interests of our members. We begin with warm-ups and rounds before singing songs together, accompanied by our pianist Jim. We always take a break in the middle for tea, coffee and biscuits. Our sessions are friendly and informal, and we are joined by student volunteers from the University of St Andrews.
