Leave a legacy of live music

Gifts in Wills help to share the healing power of live music with people who may never otherwise experience it – including those living with dementia, mental health challenges, or serious illness. Your generosity can create moments of joy, comfort, and connection that last long after the music ends.

If live music has ever touched your life or the life of someone you love, please consider leaving a gift in your Will to Music in Hospitals & Care.

“It meant so much to Dad to hear the music whilst he was in hospital, when time just seems unending. Having the musician play for us was such a marvellous, magical moment and we wanted others to benefit like we did.”

Elizabeth Potter, whose father Michael left a gift in his Will

How your support makes a difference:

Alexander's story

Alexander is two years old and lives at home with his parents and two older brothers. They go to Kites Corner in Gloucester for respite care and daytime support. We recently joined them there for a family music day.

“Alexander loved doing the actions along with the nursery rhymes so I know he thoroughly enjoyed it – his smile proved it too.”

Some generous musicians choose to leave the gift of their music royalties to support our essential work, ensuring their creativity continues to inspire and support future generations. By donating royalties, you can make your music a lasting legacy – one that changes lives for years to come.

If you’d like to explore leaving your royalties to help us continue our work, we’d love to hear from you today.

We have a partnership with professional solicitors Jones Whyte. They can write your Will for free and review one you already have at no charge. Jones Whyte also offers a discount on their Power of Attorney service.

They’ll ask you if you would like to leave a gift in your Will to Music in Hospitals & Care when you use their services, which we would be so grateful for, but you are under no obligation to do so.
