Supporters have held fundraising concerts and pop-up gigs with The Twilight Sad and The Bluebells. Local artists have created music-themed murals with people living with dementia. Features on BBC Breakfast with Celebrity Ambassador Sir Alex Ferguson reached millions of viewers.
Personal playlists connect thousands of people living with dementia in the UK. Through song, they draw people together.
