If you would like to make a donation as a tribute to Jean, we are collecting for a Hampshire based Music Therapy Charity called Key Changes to help with their dementia project.

It is estimated that over 800,000 people in the UK currently live with dementia, and this is predicted to reach over one million by 2025. Music therapy plays a crucial role in the care of many people with dementia, helping minimise apathy, anxiety, restlessness and depression.

Most people, even at late stages of dementia, are able to access memories
of long ago which are stored deep in the brain, but not recent events. We remember emotional experiences more easily than facts and the emotional nature of music helps these memories come to the fore.

Music Therapy can support people at all stages of dementia.
