The motion

That the Parliament recognises the work of the music charity, Playlist for Life, which supports people with dementia; notes the benefits of personal playlists for people with that condition, including improving their mood, reducing anxiety, improving communication and opening opportunities for connection; believes that the work of Playlist for Life can help to ease pressures in dementia support and significantly enhance person-centred care, as well as decrease carer stress and provide respite; notes that the charity supports 80,000 people every year and has trained over 8,000 health and care professionals to make playlists part of dementia care; recognises what it sees as the important work of its 2,500 help points across the UK, which offer free support and resources to families; notes that 57 of these help points are in Glasgow and operate in partnership with various organisations across the city; acknowledges National Playlist Day 2024, which will take place on 20 September, and encourages everyone to consider what songs would be in the soundtrack of their life to raise awareness of playlists as a powerful intervention benefitting people living with dementia.
