Each week as part of our daily In Touch emails to carers we compile a list of different virtual activities.
There are a huge number of resources available, so each week we showcase a few different links and activities. Staying connected and enjoying new experiences will definitely help to pass the time in an enjoyable way.

Added Extras
The Metropolitan Opera is streaming performances every night at 7:30 pm EST and then saving the playback for 24 hours. If you’re a lover of Opera then this will be great for you! Or if you’ve never seen an Opera before then you should give it a go. Click here
While they can’t bring us concerts at the moment, all the Operatunity artists have rallied to produce virtual concerts. Some footage is from their archives, some shot on phones and some was recorded before the lockdown. There is a variety of songs, singers and musicians for you to enjoy. Click here
