We meet at West Park United Reformed Church.
We are a large group, and people who attend YAM are members.
Each session costs £3. Staff or carers who come with members do not pay.
Our songs and workshops are chosen with input from our members.
On singing mornings the YAM Singers meet to sing. Some tunes include actions and props. Singers can choose to perform at various concerts and festivals throughout the year. Members, family, friends and staff are invited to the concerts too!
Workshop mornings could have concerts, dance and movement, guest leaders, playing instruments, talent shows, arts and crafts.
If you or someone you work with would like to attend, please let us know and we will invite you to a taster session. Our group is full at the moment–you can request to be added to a waiting list.
For more information including risk assessments, to request an invitation back, to register or to try a taster session, please contact one of our leaders.
You can contact us by email (below), or through the YAMSEN facebook page or @YamsenMusic X (twitter) account. We appreciate what families or carers can do to help us and our customers to stay connected, so a big thank you!
