This Student Volunteering Week, we hear from St Andrews University student Tatenda, who volunteered with us last year in Scotland.
Music in Hospitals & Care are excited to be working with the University of Edinburgh, specifically the Edinburgh Centre for Research on the Lived Experience of Dementia.
Caroline Barker has been a Senior Charge Nurse in the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh’s Intensive Care and High Dependency Units for over 25 years. Our musicians have recently been able to go back into critical wards at the hospital for the first time since before the pandemic.
Our ambassador talks about about her volunteering with Music in Hospitals & Care and the impact that it made on a group she spoke to recently.
Our Musician Spotlight for December is Bruce Davies, who joined Music in Hospitals & Care in 1997. His wide repertoire and use of reminiscence have made him a hit amongst older audiences across Scotland.
We are delighted that our trustee, Dr Alan Jacques, has been shortlisted for this year's Scottish Charity Awards in the 'Terrific Trustee' category. Votes are now open for the People's Choice Award.
Please give today to help improve the health and wellbeing of children and adults through the healing power of live music.
