Music Medicine To Dementia 
Pre-pandemic, LCUK was providing more than 1300 interactive music sessions a year in 130 homes, but in March 2020 the music fell silent.
Though musicians helpfully continued to record virtual sessions for care homes, LCUK recognised that in order to survive they needed to completely re-vision and diversify the way in which they operated.
It was clearly vital that they responded to the effects of over two years of isolation, of which the older generation, especially in care homes, were hit particularly hard. So community sessions were created to combat loneliness and support people in their dementia journey, from initial diagnosis right through to the final stages. No-one realised just how popular these sessions would become! During the cost of living crisis hit, the decision was made to partner with local ‘warm spaces’ and provide Soup and Song sessions to serve the community even better.
