Herts Musical Memories is set to receive £25,000 to continue its musical services for people living with dementia.
The money will enable the small Hertfordshire-based charity to deliver singing sessions for people with the dementia to support their wellbeing.
The grant was received from Music for Dementia’s £500,000 Paul and Nick Harvey Fund, which was set up specifically to directly support musical activities for people with dementia.

Laois County Council Arts and Library Sections have partnered with the Dunamaise Arts Centre and Music Generation Laois to present a selection of safe and creative projects during the month of May to celebrate the Laois Bealtaine Festival for older people.
The month of May offers glimpses of new beginnings in nature and also hope for our communities, as we tentatively emerge from Covid-19 lockdown restrictions. With safety in mind, the 2021 Laois programme follows the national theme of Bealtaine At Home with events online, but none the less we hope to have something for everyone to enjoy.
