Our latest annual report is now available to read.
Last year 28,000 people experienced the joy and impact of our live music. As you will see, it is the personal stories that stand out. Every foot tap, person singing along, or silent reflection. Live music makes us feel more relaxed and happier. It reduces stress and makes us feel less agitated.
Our 2022/23 annual report focuses on our live music – its impact, the places and people who experience it and everyone who helped make it possible.
Thank you for your support to keep the music playing.
