In difficult times, music can soothe, comfort and help us feel better. Yet too many people don’t get to experience the benefits of live music – including those who are seriously ill, have mental health problems or are living with dementia. As a charity, we rely on donations to reach people who need our support.

Please give today to help improve the health and wellbeing of children and adults through the healing power of live music.

“A patient called Jerry was clapping along to his request for the beach boys and his wife took a video to show his physiotherapists. She told us that he hadn’t used his left hand since having a stroke and the physios had been encouraging him to do this. She was delighted.”
