It was great to attend @FMNProject at the St Brides Centre - I heard and saw first hand about the work they do using music to build an inclusive community of "warmth, openness and understanding".

We are a project that is built upon dementia-friendly values, and is open to all - it really is positive and inspiring.

'It’s important to create an environment that includes, rather than excludes. Inclusion can be an overused word. For me, it’s about being interested in each other' - Paul from @FMNProject speaking at the #ScotDementiaFest

'When covid happened, I thought 'Where are all my friends?' - and then I found the choir' - sharing the power of music to reduce isolation. 'As long as we‘re all singing from the same hymn sheet, then we‘re a community' - @FMNProject's music workshop at #ScotDementiaFest 🎼

[Playlist for Life @PlaylistforLife]

Fantastic session from @FMNProject about what music means to us as individuals and how music can bring us together to create a community. How community can raise us up, bring us together and help us communicate on an emotional level. 🎶💚 #ScotDementiaFest

[The Forget Me Notes Project @FMNProject]

Wonderful to be joining #ScotDementiaFest today to add a @FMNProject flavour to the morning!
