Community Award 2017
Was presented to Anna Eveleigh
"It is widely recognised that singing is a useful brain stimulant for dementia sufferers. Anna was nominated for the work that she does with dementia sufferers on Portland by leading 'Singing for the Brain' sessions. To quote from nominations -
Anna is a wonderful singing teacher and is absolutely dedicated to her singing work.
The sessions have been a lifeline for many people on Portland who have not had any services specifically linked to dementia
At her award ceremony she amply demonstrated her enthusiasm and leadership qualities and soon had her audience singing and joining in with gestures to demonstrate her methods."
