Support the Power of Music

So far, we’ve raised £2.3 million for the Power of Music Fund, including £500k secured from the NHS. We’ve given grants to over 200 organisations who will support over 12,000 people and create lasting change in the way the health system works with community groups to ensure that many more people living with dementia can benefit in the long term. [...] The Power of Music Fund kicked off in early 2023 with 100 grants of £1000 to support dementia choirs and singing groups that were struggling to keep going due to rising costs. This was scaled up later that year with a second cohort of grantees offering multi-year small grants to 70 hyper local organisations delivering music activities for people living with dementia. These activities will benefit over 5500 people whilst championing innovators and best practice in the field, as well as focusing [...] music activities, and design new models of care which can be scaled up and spread across the UK.
