Music for My Mind
Music for My Mind is a UK-based charitable organisation (charity number 1167246) dedicated to enhancing the well-being of people living with dementia, as well as supporting their families, friends, and care providers. The charity focuses on the use of personalised music playlists as an affordable therapy in dementia care.
History and Mission
Music for My Mind was founded with the aim of improving the quality of life for the more than one million people living with dementia in the UK. The charity recognises the profound impact personally meaningful music can have in reconnecting individuals with their past, managing anxiety, combating depression, and reducing reliance on pharmacological treatments during difficult care situations.
The core mission of Music for My Mind is to promote and enable the use of personalised music to improve the well-being of people living with dementia and those close to them. The organisation emphasises the importance of accessible music therapy through innovative technological solutions to deliver tailored music experiences.
Approach and Activities
The charity utilises technology to automatically select and deliver personalised music playlists tailored to the tastes and memories of people with dementia. This approach is innovative in the dementia care sector, where music therapy traditionally requires manual selection or therapist involvement. By developing and researching these technological solutions, Music for My Mind aims to provide evidence-based tools to influence healthcare policy, clinical practice, and care provision.
Vision
Music for My Mind envisions a future where every care home in the UK incorporates music programmes as a standard part of dementia care. Their long-term goal is for personalised music listening to be widely adopted as an affordable, integral intervention that enhances the daily lives of people living with dementia.
Impact
Research demonstrates that listening to personal favourite music can help recreate connections with relatives, reduce anxiety and stress, and improve overall emotional well-being. By making these benefits more accessible through technology, Music for My Mind strives to improve dementia care on a broad scale.
Music for My Mind represents a pioneering effort to combine music therapy with technological innovation, aiming to transform dementia care and support millions of people affected by memory loss and associated conditions in the UK.
