The charity's goal is to offer personalised playlists to individuals with dementia and educate their loved ones on how to use them.

Making a start with Playlist for Life

Getting started

Music is part of our everyday lives. Remember that your personal playlist is as unique as you, make sure you find music that sparks that 'flashback feeling'.

Finding the right music

Hunting for the right tunes that uncovers someone's life story is like being a Music Detective. Think of nursery rhymes, TV theme tunes or songs at weddings.
