A new partnership between Music in Hospitals & Care and Age UK branches across the North of England will bring regular live music concerts to 12 Age UK centres from March 2019.
Our outreach live music concerts are very popular with elderly people, and are an effective way of reaching out to people who may have become isolated and lonely, including those living within our communities with dementia or other health issues.
This three year project is funded by The National Lottery Community Fund and will be launched with an inaugural concert to be held at Age UK Manchester, Crossacres Resource Centre, Wythenshawe on Friday 1st March.
The concerts are open to anyone over 50 who will benefit from participating in a fun and welcoming cultural and social event. MiHC professional musicians will provide an exciting and varied programme of regular concerts, so there’ll be something for everyone!
