Forget-me-not Chorus
Location
Llanelli
Description
Forget-me-not Chorus are looking for a friendly, organised and approachable person to support the Llanelli group as ‘Session Co-ordinator’ at our Wednesday afternoon sessions. Our community choir is made up of people living with dementia, their families and carers.
The role involves the pastoral care and running of the choir sessions, supporting the music leader to ensure that choir members and volunteers feel cared for and supported.
__
We are Forget-me-not Chorus, a charity bringing the joy of singing to people living with dementia, and those who support them.
We organise joy-filled singing sessions for people with all forms of dementia, as well as the families, friends and professional staff looking after them. Thousands of people, from millennials to centenarians, participate in our singing sessions every week, pan-Wales and now further afield too.
Led by a team of highly-trained professional musicians, our sessions energise, engage, and empower those with dementia and those who love and care for them. It’s so much more than simply singing old songs, or bringing back memories. We commission and perform new pieces that celebrate our choristers and share their experiences with the wider community. It's about creating new memories, enjoying new experiences, and celebrating life in the moment.
We work in community, care home, hospital, and online settings with repertoire spanning three generations. It’s free to join (and no referral is required). Our innovative pre-recorded music sessions are currently enjoyed by almost 2,500 subscribers.

Who we’re looking for
Someone local to Llanelli who enjoys working with people and is able to support our music team to deliver weekly singing sessions on a Wednesday afternoon. We’re looking for someone who is able to spread the word of our work in the community and encourage people to join us.
Forget-me-not Chorus in Llanelli - our work so far
Forget-me-not Chorus started working with Hywel Dda Health Board in Prince Phillip Hospital in 2022. We are launching our community service in Llanelli in May 2026.
What's the role like?
You will be the point of contact for all our community choir members in Llanelli.
During a typical session you will be the first to arrive and set up the room as needed. You will welcome participants, making sure they feel comfortable in the space. You will serve the refreshments in the break, supported by volunteers and chat to all participants to make them feel welcome and supported. You will support the music team to ensure they can deliver the session as planned. At the end of the session you will clear up, lock up and complete a session feedback form - noting any issues and good news stories.
During the week you may be asked to send out an email to our participants with updates on sessions. You may also be in contact with potential participants via phone or email to ensure they have all the information they need. This time can be ad hoc, but we do need all enquiries responded to promptly.
