We love to hear from our listeners. One lovely listener shared with us how they enjoyed listening to MDFR. 🥰

Picture says "“I just wanted to let you know how much the MDFR station meant to me and my lovely mum. We would listen often throughout the day, but especially in the morning whilst I was getting her washed and dressed. We would sing along merrily to the songs played and, for some reason she always acknowledged when the time was given, albeit often with surprise ☺️”

📻Being dementia friendly isn’t just about reminiscing — it’s about making each day feel a little easier.

That’s why MDFR includes regular reminders to support daily wellbeing — from the date and time, to hydration prompts, gentle cues around mealtimes, and calm guidance to wind down for bed in the evening.

Kindness, connection, and care . 💙

💙 Living with Alzheimer's?

Many people don't realise that research can be an option for those living with Alzheimer's.

MAC Clinical Research is currently conducting a UK clinical trial investigating a potential treatment for Alzheimer's and is inviting volunteers aged 50 to 85 with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's to learn more.

✅ There is no obligation to take part in the research
✅ Travel expenses or transport to clinic visits may be provided
✅ Participants are closely monitored by research doctors and nurses
✅ Participants and their carers will both receive up to £1,595 for their time and commitment

If you have a diagnosis of Alzheimer's, or care for someone who does, this research opportunity may be of interest.

What does it mean to be "Dementia Friendly Radio"?

🎶 A song from your youth.
🏘️ A story about a familiar place.
💬 A conversation sparked by a cherished memory.

At MDFR, we use music and local history to help listeners take a walk down memory lane. Playing songs from the 1940s to the 1990s, our programmes can help unlock memories, encourage conversation, and strengthen connections between people living with dementia and those who care about them.

After all, every memory has a soundtrack. 💙

Meaningful activities are about so much more than passing the time.

They help maintain identity, build confidence, strengthen relationships, and support wellbeing for people living with dementia. They can also provide carers with moments of respite, connection, and shared joy. 💙

In this episode, we explore how people living with dementia and their carers discovered activities that were meaningful to them, and the positive impact these activities can have on everyday life.
