Music and Wellbeing

We’re working collaboratively with BBC Music Day to help bring music to everyone in the UK living with dementia by 2020, using BBC Music Day as a platform.

The fifth BBC Music Day takes place on Thursday 26th September with events and broadcasts across the week.

The theme this year is music and wellbeing; the power of music to inspire, to bring us together and make a positive impact.

We kick started our part of the project with a request for donations of FREE sessions for care homes for our subscribers.  Our awesome musical friends weren't shy in coming forward and we've had some brilliant donations.

Here's our first wave of successful care homes who will be enjoying a FREE musical session during the week commencing 23rd September 2019.
