Jazz duo serenades residents at an outdoor concert at their homes in 
Dartford.
Lorna, Scheme Manager at Strawberry Hill in Dartford, was contacted by a local councilor about a singer and saxophonist to perform for residents. The musical duo is part of an Arts Council initiative and throughout the pandemic they have been performing outdoor concerts to people in care homes and extra care schemes.
Staff that manage schemes like Strawberry Hill regularly organise activities such as arts and crafts, singing sessions and tea and cake afternoons, but since March last year they had to look into alternative entertainment options that would keep everyone safe.
Lorna said “It was a great success! The residents loved it, and even though it was cold they still came out with their tea and coffee to listen. Many of them are shielding and don’t see other people so it was really beneficial for them.”
