Make a donation

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.
