Power of Music Fund Supports Dementia Choirs across the U.K.

02-15-2023

Music-making has palliative capabilities, no matter what stage of life we’re in. Recognizing that truth, the Power of Music Fund will offer £100,000 in grants to 100 community choirs and singing groups across the United Kingdom in an effort to bring the music’s transformational power to people with dementia and their caregivers. Administered by The Utley Foundation in tandem with the National Academy for Social Prescribing, these grants follow up the release of the 2022 Power of Music Report by UK Music and The Utley Foundation. Though the deadline for applications has just closed, we share this news in the hope that similar funding opportunities will emerge. Curious how singing can make a difference in the lives of people with dementia? Watch the work of Our Dementia Choir in action on their Vimeo channel.
