Our music for dementia programme started 10 years ago with a grant to artist Beatie Wolfe. Since then our Music for Dementia campaign has invested almost £5.5m in grants and special projects towards making music and integral part of dementia care.

ABOUT THE UTLEY FOUNDATION

The Utley Foundation is a private family charitable trust, established in 2014. The Foundation exists to advance social causes close to the heart of the trustees, and to act as a catalyst for greater funding and wider action for the causes it supports. The Utley Foundation does not accept unsolicited applications for funding.

MUSIC AND DEMENTIA

The Utley Foundation is spearheading a nationwide campaign to make music available for everyone living with Dementia. The value and power of music is clear, and The Foundation has been exploring a wide range of musical options from music therapy and live music to personalised playlists, cementing their place as a pioneering philanthropic financier in this emergent space.

Veteran Charity

VETERANS

The Foundation is committed to working with existing veteran charities alongside exciting new initiatives to increase the support to and employability of ex service people. The Foundation is particularly interested in supporting the mental health, wellbeing and employable skills development of veterans as they leave the forces.

Children Charity

CHILDREN

The Foundation has dedicated a considerable amount of their resource to supporting children’s charities since it’s inception and it continues to be a focus area of the trustees. Support for charities benefiting under-privilege, disabled and ill children at home and abroad remains a key priority for the foundation as it moves forward.
