About Our Dementia Choir
Our Dementia Choir is a UK-based charity that provides music therapy and support for people living with dementia and their families.
There are over 850,000 people in the UK who live with a form of dementia, and despite the progress being made in the search for a cure, it is unlikely to come quick enough to help them. For these people, what's essential is to find the best way of living with their dementia.
'Our Dementia Choir' began as part of a documentary created for BBC1 in 2018. The two-part series saw acclaimed actress Vicky McClure take us on a deeply personal journey where she sets out to discover the true extent of music's power in combating dementia. Vicky knows only too well the cruelness of dementia having helped care for her grandma who died in 2015. Vicky also saw the amazing effect that music had in calming her down as well as giving glimpses of the old Nana.
Vicky formed a choir of people living with dementia in her hometown of Nottingham to see whether music could make a measurable difference in their lives in 2018… The result : Our Dementia Choir.
Joining forces with some of the country's leading experts, the choir took part in ground-breaking scientific studies to measure their emotional and physical responses to singing over three months of regular sessions….proving that people living with dementia can still achieve something truly remarkable.
The choir has had such an immeasurably positive effect that its members have continued to meet since the first show aired, supporting families across Nottingham and inspiring choirs and groups across the UK.
How it Works
The art exhibition will display aspirational yet affordable art pieces including drawings, paintings, photography and sculpture available for sale. The invite-only event brings together collectors, artists and philanthropic patrons who have a chance to meet and mingle, celebrating their love of art and social change.
