1. We were very sad to learn of Baroness Sally Greengross's passing. A champion for older people, the arts, particularly #music and the impact it has for people living with #dementia, Sally supported so many people and organisations in their endeavours to make music part of dementia care.


2. We were privileged to work with her on the Int Longevity Centre - The Utley Foundation Commission on #DementiaandMusic, which produced a report that went on to lay the foundations for the work that we continue today with MusicforDementia. ilcuk.org.uk/wp-content/upl…
