Organisation description:
There is a wealth of evidence to support the idea that music can have a positive impact on people’s mental health. ‘Science shows it can help manage mood and anxiety, it can bring back memories and feelings, it can reconnect people to those they love.’ (Music for Dementia). Our aim is to use music to inspire memories, conversation, and friendships in and between people living with dementia. We hold monthly discos in the Stockport area. The discos are held at the weekends, in the early evenings. They are free to attend, and we provide a free meal. They are not restricted to the person with dementia and their carer, friends and family are welcome to come too. We are also starting to run mobile discos in care homes. These would be through the week, in the afternoon or early evening. Find out more here
