Music - Playlists for Life Contact: [email protected]
We are a national music and dementia charity providing vital support to families living with dementia by using music to improve their quality of life.
We have a simple vision: we want everyone with dementia to have a unique personal playlist and for everyone who loves and cares for them to know how to use it.
Research shows that listening to personally meaningful music can improve the symptoms of dementia, support memory and communication, and help people to reconnect to loved ones and to their own pasts.
