Today is National Playlist Day

Our campaign #NationalPlaylistDay celebrates the power of meaningful music for dementia.

Our ambassador Sir Alex Ferguson said:

I’m delighted to support National Playlist Day again this year. Music is a big part of my life. I’ve shared songs from my own personal playlist, from Sinatra to Nat King Cole, and I’m encouraging everyone to do the same.

So, take a few minutes to create a playlist for yourself, a family member or a friend. It could become one of the most valuable gifts you ever give.

It’s a simple thing to do, but for someone affected by dementia, it can make a world of difference.”
