Who is behind it?
Our Music Cafés are part of Manchester Camerata's Music in Mind programme.
Music Café sessions have been developed from long term research by the University of Manchester and leading dementia experts. They use principles based on music therapy to improve the health and wellbeing of people with dementia and their carers.
Who is it for?
It’s for people who are living with dementia and their carer. You could come with your spouse, your friend, a family member, a carer, whoever you want to have fun with!
Music Cafés are suitable for people at any stage of their dementia.
