Meet your Music Leader

Intergenerational || Additional needs || Adults
Hello, my name is Kathryn, and I live in Oldham.
When I left school I trained as a Dispensing Optician and worked in optics for over 30 years. However, I was getting a bit restless and wanted to do something a bit different. I searched the Internet, and Kiddleydivey popped up! It sounded very much that it was something I could do and therapeutic music with the elderly greatly appealed, as my Mum had been a dementia sufferer. I loved singing with my Mum, especially the old hymns that she loved. I found that they calmed her and she tried very hard to sing along, even though she couldn’t speak very well following a stroke.
To cut a long story short, I joined the Kiddleydivey family just over a year ago and have no regrets at all. I wish I’d discovered it earlier! I love being my own boss, taking control over my work/life balance, but knowing that the back up from Sally and the other “Kiddleydivas” is always there if needed.
If you have anything to do with a Care Home in the north Manchester area, including towns and villages in and around Ashton-under-Lyne, Bolton, Bury, Dukinfield, Oldham, Rochdale, Stalybridge & Whitefield, and would like a free taster session to see if Kiddleydivey could benefit your residents, please get in touch. If you are in any doubt about whether I visit your location or your location is not listed, please feel free to contact me below or email KiddleydiveyUK at info@Kiddleydivey.co.uk.
My phone number is 07933 200616, email me at manchesternorth@kiddleydivey.co.uk or please complete the form below:
I hope to hear from you soon!
