Young-Onset Dementia in Burnley and Colne

We have a new creative health programme taking place at Burnley Library this November and December and invite you to refer anyone who may benefit.


Vinyl Revival is a free, friendly, and relaxed series of music sessions for people living with young onset dementia and those who support them. Led by Marco from Lancashire Music Service, the sessions will use live music, movement, and shared memories to create enjoyable social experiences and opportunities for creative expression. The programme aims to support wellbeing, social connection, and confidence through shared musical experiences.

Participants will have the opportunity to:

• Listen to favourite songs performed live
• Try a range of musical instruments
• Take part in a movement workshop with LPM Dance
• Share memories and stories inspired by music
• Explore a range of objects, photographs, costumes, and memorabilia
• Help shape a final Vinyl Revival celebration event
• Access support from Alzheimer’s Society via one of their Dementia Advisers

There is no pressure to sing, dance, speak or attend every session. The programme is designed to be welcoming, supportive and enjoyable for people with a range of interests and abilities.


When: Tuesdays, 1.00pm to 2.30pm (on 3, 10, 17 and 24 November, and 1 December)
Where: Music Room, Burnley Library


If you work with people living with young onset dementia (diagnosed before the age of 65), we would be grateful if you could share this opportunity with individuals, families and carers who may be interested. See attached for a flyer.
