This month we were thrilled to feature on Givto, which has helped to raise vital funds to share the healing power of live music.
Givto is a new way to donate to charity that allows users to give to a different cause each month with one simple Direct Debit. The service was developed by volunteers in Leeds who wanted to support local charities during the pandemic. Following a successful pilot in Yorkshire, Givto is now being rolled out to people nationwide. Givto offers users the chance to support local charities and discover new causes – like ours.
Each month, Givto users are given three causes to choose from. We were one of the charities featured in January, and we’re delighted that so many Givto users chose to support us. We received a generous donation of £430.54 from their donors.
The donations from Givto users will be used to share the healing power of live music with people in hospitals and care across the UK. From premature babies to older people living in care homes or people experiencing end of life care, our live music works to improve their health and wellbeing.
If you want to support us on a regular basis you can become our Friend or to help more causes like ours, you can sign up to donate with Givto today.

World Alzheimer’s Month: Lifting spirits in Cumbria
Our musician Andy McKay has been visiting wards and care homes across Barrow-in-Furness in Cumbria, where we have been able to share 29 hours of live music between September 2025 and May 2026. One of the spaces Andy visited is the Ramsey Unit at Furness General Hospital, an assessment unit for patients with organic illnesses such as dementia.
