Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Playlist for Life - founded by Sally Magnusson aims to make it possible for every person with dementia - whether in their own home or in a care setting - to have access to a playlist of personally meaningful music from their past life, delivered via an iPod. There is mounting evidence that if people with dementia are offered frequent access to the music in which their past experience and memories are embedded, it can improve their present mood, their awareness, their ability to understand and think and their sense of identity and independence.

Our Welfare team have been working closely with some of our clients with dementia and their families to compile playlists and to ensure that they have the requisite equipment to listen to their music either in the care home or in their own homes.  

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
