Did you know we lead a creative music-making programme for people living with dementia and their families, friends, and carers? 🎶

Today is the National Day of Arts in Care Homes (National Activity Providers Association) and we thought we’d share a little more about our Music for Life programme ✨

One strand of Music for Life is our work in care settings where we aim to support the wellbeing of residents and staff by creating opportunities for creative expression and meaningful connections 💫

Our vision is a world in which the human rights of all people living with dementia are respected and upheld, where they are treated with dignity and fully included in society. We play our part by creating music activity for and with people living with dementia, which is fully inclusive of people whatever their stage or type of dementia.
