In response to the Power of Music report, a new fund is available to support dementia choirs and singing groups across the UK. Find out how to apply.
A £100,000 fund has been set up by the National Academy of Social Prescribing in partnership with the Utley Foundation, to support dementia choirs and singing groups across the UK. Find out full details below, including the 48 hour application window, between 9am on 13 February and 9am on 15 February.
The fund is in response to last year’s Power of Music Report, which called for investment in music programmes for health and wellbeing, among other recommendations. It follows Vicky McClure’s ‘Our Dementia Choir’ documentary which demonstrates the lifechanging power of music for people living with dementia and their loved ones.
Registration for the fund will be open for 48 hours between 9am on 13 February until 9am on 15 February with the first 100 choirs and singing groups receiving £1,000 each (weighted to ensure grants go to people across the country and to reflect diversity).
This small grant fund is intended to support social prescribing by helping choirs and singing groups come through a challenging winter and continue providing musical moments of joy to those living with dementia and their carers.
Details on how to apply, eligibility, and key dates can be found here.
