In January 2019, Music in Hospitals & Care received two grants from the Darkley Trust and the Arts Council of Wales to provide Dementia specific communication training days for our musicians working in Wales. Throughout the Spring we organised three training events, which took place in Wrexham, Swansea and Cardiff.
Students on Royal Birmingham Conservatoire's Music, Community and Wellbeing module will be observing professional musicians from Music in Hospitals & Care over the next two terms as part of an ongoing partnership with the institution.
Our musicians Kirsten Easdale & Gregor Lowrey will be visiting the Tigh Na Drochaid Resource Centre in Portree for a week of interactive music sessions culminating in a live performance for the local community.
Electricity distributor Western Power Distribution (WPD) has provided funding for 15 free live music sessions across South West Wales.
Please give today to help us bring live music to people of all ages in hospitals & care settings across the UK.
