What is Music in Mind

Our Music in Mind project started in 2012 as a response to the increase in the number of people living with dementia in our community because of an expanding older population. With the current lack of existing provision, older people are facing a lonely situation.

This project sees our musicians collaborate with Music Therapists to deliver group music therapy-based projects for people with dementia and their carers, in collaboration

with organisations such as Age Friendly Manchester, the NHS, Alzheimer’s Society and National Autistic Society.Independent research identifies our work as a factor in improving the overall physical and mental wellbeing of people living with dementia. We aim to reach 3,000 people with dementia by 2018.
