We are excited to announce a new partnership with Age Connects Torfaen. Thanks to funding from The National Lottery Community Fund, we will be able to share live music twice a month for the next two years.
It's Creativity and Wellbeing Week and we're celebrating the role that live music plays in patient recovery at Ty Llidiard, an inpatient care facility for young people with severe mental illness.
Music in Hospitals & Care is sharing joy through live music with residents and staff at Marillac Neurological Care Centre for adults with complex neurological conditions, including stroke and acquired brain injury.
In 2023/24, 50 hours of live music took place as part of the weekly 'jam sessions' at Royal Edinburgh Hospital in The Hive, which have been running for over ten years.
Since January we have been sharing weekly live music and visual art experiences at TÅ· Llidiard, a residential NHS Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) in Bridgend.
New research, carried out by the Salford Institute for Dementia at our specially created music café, has found that people living with dementia who regularly experience live music have reduced isolation, increased wellbeing and improved peer support.
Please give today to help improve the health and wellbeing of children and adults through the healing power of live music.
