Playlist for Life - Dementia Support
Playlist for Life is a music and dementia charity. The charity was founded in 2013 by writer and broadcaster Sally Magnusson with a simple vision: for everyone with dementia to have a unique, personalised playlist and for everyone who loves or cares for them to know how to use it.
Hundreds of community organisations around the UK are supporting people to use the power of personal music to help those living with dementia by setting up a Playlist for Life Help Point. A Help Point is somewhere that people affected by dementia can access free information, resources and, in some cases support, to create and use a personalised playlist. Any organisation that can provide free advice, support or activity to people affected by dementia are invited to apply, from grassroots community groups to libraries, dementia cafes, sports clubs, community Police stations and GP Surgeries.
If you think we should set up a local help point, and have suggestions for where this could be, please email dkccinfo@gmail.com.
