BBC Radio 6 presenter Lauren Laverne has been appointed as ambassador for Music for Dementia's 2020 campaign, funded by The Utley Foundation and backed by politician Matt Hancock, aiming to 'highlight the powerful impact music can have on people living with dementia'.

Laverne commented 'Music’s connection to memory is something we intuitively understand and celebrate every day on radio shows like mine, but we are failing to use this powerful tool in the fight against dementia'.
