Residents at Ruckland Court Care Home, in the heart of North Lincoln, have been having an absolutely wonderful time enjoying music sessions led by the fantastic team at SoundLINCS. These sessions have been a brilliant way for everyone to come together, explore their musical side, and have a bit of fun in the process.
The sessions are skillfully led by Christina, who has brought so much energy and joy into the home. She sings, plays musical instruments, and breaks down songs so that everyone can get involved. It’s all about making sure the residents feel included and get the chance to sing along, tap to the beat, and enjoy every moment.
For anyone who doesn’t know, SoundLINCS is a wonderful not-for-profit organisation that believes music has the power to change lives. They run all kinds of workshops for people from different backgrounds, creating exciting and tailored music-making opportunities that are perfect for each group they work with.
At Ruckland Court, Christina has worked her magic, and the sessions have quickly become a highlight for residents. From the first session, she’s taken the time to understand what the residents enjoy.
April, the Wellbeing Coordinator, helped kick things off by suggesting some tracks, and since then, Christina has tailored every session to suit the group. She’s even brought along fun props like handbells and maracas, so residents can really get stuck in and enjoy a proper musical experience.
April shared how much these sessions have meant to everyone: “It’s been such a joy to welcome Christina from SoundLINCS into our home. The residents have absolutely loved every session—seeing their faces light up as they sing and move along to the music has been so rewarding. It’s not just fun; it’s also a great way to keep active and lift everyone’s spirits.”
Adam Atkin, the Home Manager, added: “We’re so grateful to Christina and SoundLINCS for everything they’ve done. It’s been amazing to see how much the residents have embraced these sessions, with some even getting up to dance. A big thank you to April as well for organising these wonderful experiences. These moments are so important for keeping our residents happy and engaged.”
At Ruckland Court, it’s all about making sure the residents have opportunities to enjoy life to the fullest—and these music sessions have certainly struck the right note.
