We’ve created an inspirational Musical Guide for making the most of music’s powerful ability to connect people during COVID-19.
Our guide offers creative tips and activities to help everyone in isolation, using music as a unifying language. It is also backed by our ambassador, Lauren Laverne.
Developed for people living with dementia and their carers, the guide can be used by anyone to bring the uplifting benefit of music into the home.

Ambassador Lauren Laverne encourages everyone to make a playlist.
In these times of social distancing it’s important that we try and incorporate music into the lives of people living with dementia and their carers to help us stay connected.
Our multi-talented Music for Dementia Ambassador Lauren Laverne urges people with dementia, their families and carers to build music playlists using our free playlists guides, which also incorporates some top tips on how you can deliver them within the current landscape.

Helping people with dementia find their music!
Understandably many of the brilliant dementia-friendly musical activities and services listed on our www.musicalmap.co.uk have been postponed until further notice. However some musical providers have been looking into ways to hold these activities virtually.
If you have changed your musical offer to be a virtual one please do get in touch so we can update the map and share your story on social media – Twitter | Facebook | Instagram
