Playlist for Life – Dementia Friends
As part of our Dementia Friends Initiative, we have registered as a help point for ‘Playlist for Life’ a music and dementia charity, which is aimed at people living with dementia.
There are many benefits creating a personalised playlist for someone living with dementia.
The resources include:
- “Music for dementia” leaflet
- “Create the soundtrack for your life” workbook
- “Conversation starters” A4 flyer
- “100 Years: A Century of Song” – top songs for every year from 1915 to 2015
- A wealth of information and advice, plus step-by-step instructions on how to create a playlist which can be accessed via the Library’s computers or at home via https://www.playlistforlife.org.uk/
The pamphlets to support the initiative can be found on the Dementia Information Hub display near to reception, and the “100 Years – A Century of Song” book is with the other dementia books in the health section of the library (it is also online via https://www.playlistforlife.org.uk/the-100-years-book/)
