Commission on Dementia and Music

/in /by

I was lucky enough to be invited recently to attended the launch of the report from the Commission on Dementia and Music in the House of Lords.

I was not prepared for how this event would affect me – I felt truly blessed to be surrounded by so many people really fighting to get quality music provision to those who need it.  I was also really impressed by the passion of these people and the willingness to actually DO something about it.  I look forward to working with the Utley Foundation and others to help move things forward.

I also felt extremely emotional because I really felt for the first time that I am part of something REALLY important AND that the media and government are really starting to take notice, and to finally realise what I have known for years – just how much music helps those with dementia.

I love this work and I am so lucky to have found a job that is a true vocation to me, I hope that I can continue to bring fun to as many people as I can through the joy of singing together.

Alzheimers Show 2017

Wow – our very first time at the Alzheimers Show – we had a great time!

We met lots of interesting people. It was great to be surrounded by like-minded people all with the common goal of helping people with dementia have a better quality of life.

Our presentations were well attended and we got everyone singing along and waving scarves which was great fun!  Everyone can benefit from having a good old SING!old-lady-singing

We are now working through all the wonderful contacts we made so that we can get more people singing.  We want to ensure that as many people as possible living with dementia experience the benefits of singing:

  • Better communication
  • Helps with depression
  • Decreased reliance on drugs
  • Boosts energy
  • And most importantl – HAVING FUN!

Keep Singing everyone – it really is good for you!
