Great stories - with a purpose
Too often, when we finish delivering talks for Music for Dementia, a member of the audience will wait behind to say:
“I never knew this. My mum had dementia but I didn’t know music could help. And now it’s too late, she’s gone. I wish I had known this before.”
You can help!
If you would like to do a piece on music and dementia, or develop a performance, artwork or podcast, we can support you by providing:
- Spokespeople
- Case studies
- Briefings on different aspects of policy and practice
- Contacts to diverse experts in the field
