Thanks to everyone in this film for sharing about the power of music in their lives. Living with dementia or caring for a loved one is tough, but music can really help. 🎶 Watch the film and 'give it a go'.👇 📽️ @edwardprosser

Before Easter we went to Marjorie Waite Court for an Easter music session with the residents. We had a magical time joining in with the singing and dancing, we went on an Easter egg hunt, we performed a song and made new friends 🦔 #BGExtra #BGMusic #BGEY

Thank you, thank you, thank you! 💙🎵 Yesterday was an absolutely incredible day, and we are overwhelmed with gratitude for each and every one of you who took part in Thank You Day. The outpouring of love, support, and heartwarming videos has left us speechless. Seeing so many people come together to celebrate and spread awareness about the power of music in dementia care has filled us with immense joy. Your participation has truly made a difference, and we cannot thank you enough. From individuals sharing their personal stories, to care homes organising special musical events, to musicians dedicating their talents to bring smiles to those living with dementia - every single act of kindness has touched our souls. The videos we received were nothing short of magical, and we were moved to tears by the love and connection that music can create. We want to extend a special thank you to all the caregivers, healthcare professionals, and volunteers who work tirelessly to improve the lives of those living with dementia. Your dedication and compassion are truly inspiring, and we are honoured to be a part of this incredible community. To everyone who shared their videos and stories on social media, thank you for spreading the word and raising awareness about the importance of music in dementia care. Your efforts have reached far and wide, and we hope that they will continue to inspire others to explore the healing power of music. Lastly, we want to express our deepest gratitude to @ThankYouDay_, @TonyChristie, @halleonard, @The_Gleeman, and @OurDementiaChoir, who have supported Music for Dementia throughout this journey and made Thank You Day so successful! Your generosity, talents, and belief in our mission have allowed us to make a real impact in the lives of those affected by dementia. Thank you for joining us on this incredible Thank You Day. Together, we are making a difference and bringing joy to the lives of those living with dementia. Let's continue to spread the love and healing power of music and create a world where everyone can experience the magic it holds. With heartfelt thanks, The Utley/ Music for Dementia Team x

Great to hear groups are restarting. We heard so many positive comments about your music sessions being a lifeline for people and how much joy they felt! Delighted to support them.
A big thank to @TwoRidingsCF their grant has helped us with re-starting our groups, recruiting new volunteers and continuing to develop the digital activities that we started during the pandemic - we are so grateful! 😍 #community #digitalinclusion

We think we’ve got something to put a spring in your step this Sunday – we’re loving this video of Margaret, who has dementia, singing along with her daughter Heather in the car.
