๐ต Our Boom Playlist for Life ๐ต
Weโve been inspired by the brilliant work of ๐ฃ๐น๐ฎ๐๐น๐ถ๐๐ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ถ๐ณ๐ฒ, a charity that helps people create personalised playlists made up of songs that hold special memories and meaning.
Playlistforlife.org.uk
For people living with dementia, familiar music can help spark memories, encourage conversation and create meaningful moments of connection.
The charity also provides free resources, tips and tools to help people build their own personal playlist โ including ideas for becoming a bit of a โmusic detectiveโ and thinking about songs linked to childhood, weddings, holidays, favourite artists, family occasions and important people or places.
Weโve shared our own Boom Playlist for Life belowโฆ and now weโd love you to join in. ๐งก
