East Devon Daytime Band provided 'laughter, joy and heart-warming melodies' when they visited the Sundial Care Home in Tipton St John shortly before Christmas.

The small brass band entertained residents - who are known as 'family members' - and staff with a selection of tunes and carols.

Macey Ryan from Evolve Care Group, which runs the home, said: "The atmosphere at Sundial Care Home was transformed as the brass band set up their instruments in the communal area.

"Family members, relatives, and team members eagerly gathered, anticipating an afternoon of musical delight.

"East Devon Daytime Band’s visit to Sundial Care Home was more than a musical performance; it was a celebration of community, connection, and the enduring power of music to uplift the human spirit."

The team at Sundial Care Home aim to recognise 'the values, beliefs and identity' of each 'family member', including their life history, and to 'create a place where everyone feels safe and never alone'. For more information, visit the Sundial Care website.
