Playlist for Life
Over two decades of scientific research has shown that listening to a personalised playlist can improve the lives of those living with dementia. In fact, listening to music that is personally meaningful has many psychological benefits, meaning anyone can benefit from a playlist.
Playlist for Life is a music and dementia charity, founded by writer and broadcaster Sally Magnusson after the death of her mother who had dementia. Their vision is simple: for everyone with dementia to have a unique, personalised playlist and everyone who loves or cares for them to know how to use it.
If you’d like to help deliver the project in our Ministry Area then please speak to Fr Dean. You can find out more about Playlist for Life here:
Black History Month
