Story
Every two years we select a charity to raise awareness and funds for. It is a long time and cherished tradition of our choir and a very important aspect of life in Westerton Male Voice Choir.
Our current chosen charity is Playlist For Life!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Playlist for Life is a music and dementia charity. The charity was founded in 2013 by writer and broadcaster Sally Magnusson after the death of her mother, Mamie, who had dementia. Their vision is simple: they want everyone living with dementia to have a unique, personalised playlist and everyone who loves or cares for them to know how to use it.
Playlist for Life harnesses the powerful effects of personal music to help anyone who is affected by dementia, their families and carers. Whether it’s the music from a first dance, lullabies from childhood or a theme tune from a favourite TV show, music has the ability to take us back in time and remind us of our past, giving that flashback feeling.
Throughout our next two seasons, we will be raising money to help support the work of the charity and assist in raising awareness wherever we are singing.
