St Albans Bach Choir – Carol concert support

St Albans Bach Choir - Carol concert support

This year, we were delighted to be chosen by the St Albans Bach Choir as one of the supported charities during their Carol concert. We are very grateful for their kind support.

We were invited to an evening performance on 12th December, by the St Albans Bach Choir, who were joined by the Embassy Brass. Our Project Assistant, Dimana Georgieva, spoke for a few minutes, sharing more details about the work that we do for people living with memory loss and dementia. The audience were invited to give donations to our charity after the concert. 

The support was incredible, raising over £1,072 for Music for my Mind. We are very grateful for everyone’s generosity. The money raised will go towards reaching more people affected by memory loss or dementia and creating personalised playlists to improve their well-being and that of their families and carers.

We were treated to a wonderful performance of the choir, including of favourite carols such as ‘God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen’, ‘Silent Night’ and ‘Hark! The Herald Angels Sing’.

We want to thank the St Albans Bach Choir and the St Albans Cathedral once again, for choosing to support Music for my Mind and for everyone’s generous contributions and interest.

Redbourn Fun Run 2018’s generous contribution

Redbourn Fun Run supports Music for my Mind

Music for my Mind was delighted to be a part of the Redbourn Fun Run 2018 held on 20th May 2018, organised by a group of volunteer mums from the village. The event had a great turnout and support from enthusiastic and energetic families ready to participate in the fun. There was a great sense of close community coming from all of the 813 participants and the over 1000 spectators who attended.

The RFR chose Music for my Mind as one of the charities to sponsor through the event and we had a great time manning our stall and talking to families about music and dementia and trying to discover their favourite music playlists! Our Founder, Keith McAdam also started the 3km race and presented the winners with their medals and prizes.

As a result of the event, the organisers of the Redbourn Fun Run and their sponsors donated £1532.75 to our cause, for which we are very grateful. The money will be put towards our ongoing project of discovering people’s favourite playlists within an hour and finding the best, easiest to use way of delivering those playlists in a care home environment.

Congratulations to all the winners!
