Arts in Care Homes Day 2023: Make your own percussion instrument

This year to celebrate our 75th anniversary we have been sharing some useful resources around music and health. We are pleased to bring you this fun guide to make your own percussion instrument, which we have produced with help from the NAPA (National Activity Providers Association) advisory group.

It is a great activity for staff and residents to do this Arts in Care Homes Day, or for families on a rainy day.
