Bringing babies and care home residents together for sessions of singing and breathwork, our Lullaby Circle sessions foster intergenerational friendships in care homes across our community.

The Lullaby Circle is part of our National Lottery-funded project STANd. From donating baby blankets to attending sessions with your little one, discover ways to get involved below.

Our Lullaby Circle sessions foster love, magic, and intergenerational friendships across our community, inviting parents and babies into local care homes to enjoy guided sessions of singing and cuddles, plus tea and cake.

Shared by the BBC and widely across social media, the response to our Lullaby Circle sessions has been phenomenal.

If you have any questions about Lullaby Circle or other STANd projects, please email info@aliveactivities.org or call 07861 385 543.

Lullaby Circle – BBC News – March 2025

To help share the intergenerational magic to even more care homes, we are on the lookout for baby blankets, baby mats and fabric bunting to use in the sessions and decorate the homes.

If you are an avid crocheter, knitter, sewer, quiltmaker, or want to try a new hobby, we would love to receive your donations.

There are three ways to support our campaign:

Send Us Blankets

If you would like to donate a blanket, mat or bunting please send it to:

Alive Activities, Create Centre, Smeaton Road, Bristol, BS1 6XN

All we ask is that there are no beads or small objects attached to the blankets or mats to keep everybody safe. They can be any size and any fabric – just use your creativity. Please keep sets of fabric bunting to 3m long (you can make as many as you like!).

If you would like to, please also include your name and contact details in your parcel so we can thank you!

Helping us to fund our sessions and source decorations, every contribution – no matter how big or small – will help bring joy to so many.
