The Council for Music in Hospitals celebrates 50 years of live music in healthcare.
The charity develops more significant partnerships, including in Jersey and Guernsey with tours of hospitals and care homes. Live music takes place in intensive care units and the ‘Friends’ scheme for committed supporters is launched, providing great new fundraising opportunities.
Sylvia becomes President Emerita and her assistant Pam Smith takes over. Pam develops the Council for Music in Hospitals’ work with young people and those living with dementia. We start to share live music in Wales, led by staff member Bill Hyde who sets up our office there from his home in South Wales.
