A personalised playlist is entirely unique and can unlock memories that span a lifetime for someone living with dementia.
Exploring artists, songs, or genres from different periods of life can help to identify personally meaningful music, so we’ve compiled over 250 playlists on our Spotify account to help you become a Music Detective!
Every month we’ll share a brand-new featured playlist from a person or group who have used our resources to inspire your playlist journey. This month, we visited the Polish Seniors Club in Aberdeen with our translated resources, where attendees swapped stories about the music that took them back to summers in Poland.
Fancy Sensy Dancy is an Aberdeen-based comunity project working with people of all ages, engaging them with arts and creativity.
Working with a Polish Seniors Club, Róża understands the importance of gaining knowledge about each senior’s individual life stories, experiences, and interests to create a selection of personally meaningful activities for them to enjoy.

"The Polish Senior Club Aberdeen was pleased to participate in the Playlist for Life project. It was a big challenge for the seniors because we delved into the past and went back to our most secret memories. The songs related to first loves, childhood and social meetings, stirring great emotions in us, from smiles to tears. Thanks to you, each senior has created her own playlist, which takes us back in time and paints memories with sounds from the past."
Róża Ginter, Founder of Fancy Sensy Dancy, Aberdeen
