We don’t worry about the words, singing in tune or the quality of our voices because singing sea shanties together makes us smile.”

Overall winner
GSK Impact Awards 2020
[Playlist for Life] has taken a simple concept and used it to deliver profound results, providing a way to connect to the past and help families living with dementia. Its evidence-based approach is highly impressive, with trials in hospitals and care homes showing that people with dementia need less medication when Playlist for Life is included in their care.
