African Drumming brings joy to our Extra Care schemes

African Drumming brings joy to our Extra Care schemes

Residents at Maxton House (Farnworth), Eldon Street (Tonge Moor, Bolton), and Lever Gardens Court (Little Lever, Bolton) have been making music together in African Drumming workshops, thanks to National Lottery funding and Jamie from African Roots.

The sessions gave residents the chance to learn new skills, connect with neighbours, and enjoy something different. Feedback has been fantastic – and there’s more to come, with new partners and activities planned for the months ahead.

We’re here to support people to build a better life – and that includes moments of joy and connection.

For more information on ways we can support you or a loved one to live independently – including through our independent living accommodation – please visit: www.boltonathome.org.uk/support-to-live-independently.
