'I want to sing in the Opera House!': community choir helps those with dementia reconnect – video

The Good Life Chorus choir in West Ryde, run entirely by volunteers, meets every Wednesday and brings together those living with dementia with their partners, carers and loved ones to have a singalong. People come from far and wide. 'We travel a fair distance because there are none available in our area,' says wife and carer Denise Jamieson. 'It’s good because I see [husband Bruce] doing something that he enjoys, and something that he has enjoyed for a long time.'
