The Rayne Foundation is pleased to announce an exciting partnership with the National Academy of Social Prescribing. We have awarded a grant of £250,000 towards a new Centre of Excellence for training in Music and Dementia, focusing on enhancing the health and social care workforce’s ability to integrate music into dementia care.
The grant complement’s the Foundation’s own Better Careers for Better Care programme and builds on our longstanding interest in how creativity can enhance later life.
Crispin Truman, Director of the Rayne Foundation, said “We are delighted to be partnering with NASP to ensure that the proven benefits of music to people with dementia and those caring for them, are made much more widely available and on a more sustainable basis. This is a major step forward for music in dementia care, made possible by the impressive commitment to collaboration of the organisations and individuals involved, in the interest of those who will benefit most.”
