This year our musicians Annie Summers and Helen Wilding have started an exciting new residency at Coventry Hospital. Violinist Helen and guitarist and harpist Annie share uplifting live music in the oncology and paediatric wards once a month.
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 Tŷ Llidiard, a residential NHS Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) in Bridgend.
This Mental Health Awareness Week we have created a new calendar to take you through the rest of May in a musical and mindful way.

We are excited to share the final total for our Big Give appeal.
We are excited to be working in partnership with Swansea Bay University Health Board to deliver the new ‘Musical Hospitals’ project.
When you donate to our Big Give appeal between 19 and 26 March, your gift will be doubled at no extra cost to you. This means twice the amount raised to help share the healing power of live music with seriously ill children and adults.
Last year we embarked on a three year project with two health and social care trusts in Northern Ireland to explore regular programmes of live music and the benefits this can have for patients and staff.
Volunteer Roy Jones speaks about his involvement with the charity since 2016 and what he thinks makes Music in Hospitals & Care special.
