Music for my Mind

Who we are

Our vision is to establish personalised music as a standard of care for people living with dementia.

Music for My Mind is a charity seeking to provide evidence that personalised music enhances quality of life and well-being of people living with dementia; it also helps them reconnect with their loved ones. We are working towards clinical trials that show the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of this approach. Such evidence is required to establish music as best practice for the many people living with dementia across the UK and internationally.

Using music to access memories for people living with dementia is not a new idea; music therapists have recognised its benefits for many years. By using new technology both to collect and deliver favourite music and to monitor responses to music, we will be able to conduct a large clinical trial, so as to prove how many people would benefit from this treatment worldwide.
