Thanks to a generous donation by the National Lottery, we have secured funding for one year to increase free-of-charge individual and group music therapy sessions to support social inclusion and emotional wellbeing. This project is currently ongoing, and we hope to present the outcome measurements by early 2026.

Contact us if you would like to join or know someone who would benefit from attending these therapy sessions.

Our team were fortunate to be asked to write an article for SEN Magazine, discussing Music Therapy and how it has benefitted our clients.

Mindful Music was developed during the pandemic as a unique therapeutic experience to support those with anxiety and depression. Online group sessions were offered to small groups of adult and young carers and looked after and adopted children and involved a mixture of drawing, music-listening, and talking therapy.

This project was later presented at the British Association for Music Therapy’s annual conference, Open Ground: Music Therapy in Collaboration and Exchange, by Helen Wallace, entitled “Containment through Collaboration: Online Therapy During Lockdown” (2021)

The lockdown sing-along projects started during the first UK-wide coronavirus lockdown. We wanted to support our clients and the local community even while we were at home. A group of local musicians volunteered to create a collection of sing-along videos to promote fun, creative ways to be together.

The Lockdown Sing-along Series

Due to the success of our first project, we decided to get people together to offer more songs and festive cheer over the holiday season.

Thanks to long-term funding, we were able to develop a Music Therapy provision which expanded to five primary schools and other non-profit organisations based in East Reading.
