VIDEO: Hey Cramlington – you were great!

“Hey Jude” echoed around Manor Walks Shopping Centre today as young and old came together in support of BBC Music Day’s initiative to raise awareness of dementia.

The event in Cramlington was one of hundreds simultaneously taking place across the UK  in a celebration of the power of music to change lives.

Cramlington Parish, Home Instead and Cramlington House were among the organisations who turned up in Centre Mall to be joined by workers and passers-by and together they created a wonderful feel-good atmosphere by singing the famous Beatles song.

The BBC Music Day project aims to help bring music to everyone living with dementia by 2020. September is also World Alzheimer’s Month, with World Alzheimer’s Day being on 21st September each year.
