A happy smiling woman

Playlist for Life is a wonderful thing! You've no idea how happy it makes me. I don't need to remember I've got dementia. I can just put my playlist on and I'm dancing and singing my heart out.

Carol Topper who lives with young onset dementia. Carol first came across Playlist for Life at our Help Point in St Andrew’s Church in Carluke where she was supported to make a playlist by volunteers from the local school. 

 

Did you know?

The number of families living with dementia is increasing. There are currently 900,000 people living with dementia in the UK. But by 2040 experts believe dementia could affect 1.6 million of us. Already, one in three of us will experience dementia or care for someone with dementia in our lifetime.

A word about safeguarding

 When working with vulnerable people it is important that everyone takes care to make sure they are kept safe and reports any concerns they have to the relevant authorities. It is the responsibility of your own organisation to put in place safeguarding policies and procedures appropriate to the work that you do and to carry out the necessary safety checks (PVG in Scotland, DBS in the rest of the UK) needed to protect both you and your service users.
