We want 1000s of families affected by dementia to benefit from personalised music using our free Playlist Maker. They tell us listening to familiar music enhances well-being, recreates ‘common ground’ in relationships, helps manage anxiety and depression and eases stress at difficult times of day

Beneficiaries
Situation
Dementia has devastating effects on the well-being of people living with dementia and their family, friends and carers. Huge investment has produced medicines to slow (but not reverse) decline, but little has gone into improving the quality of life of people already living with dementia. Personalised music can really help but until now there has been no simple, quick, affordable way to generate personalised playlists, when the person living with dementia cannot recall what music they like.
Solution
Personalised music improves the well-being of people living with dementia and enhances relationships with loved ones. Our free-to-use Playlist Maker enables family, friends or carers to create a personalised playlist for someone living with dementia in under 15 minutes, which can be played immediately using Spotify or YouTube. Overwhelmingly positive feedback from users shows huge potential to transform the well-being of millions of people affected by dementia and relieve pressure on carers.
