We run participatory music sessions and projects for older, isolated and vulnerable people in care and community settings across York. We also run a large programme of intergenerational events and activities, which bring together our beneficiaries with local schoolchildren and students. We provide free transport for anyone who needs it, and are supported by a team of dedicated volunteers.
We are hugely grateful to the Postcode Neighbourhood Trust, a grant-giving charity funded entirely by players of People's Postcode Lottery, who recently granted us £15,000 to enable us to help more vulnerable older people in York to get involved in musical activities with their wider community.
You can watch all of our groups in action in our most recent collaborative recording we created with all of our groups & intergenerational partners, in our version of Thank You For Being A Friend! 'Thank You Day' was celebrated earlier in July with Music For Dementia, we put this together, to reflect the wonderful community of friends we've created amongst our MC family!
Please use the contact page to get in touch with us if you would like any additional information. Our contact page is carefully monitored and you should hear from us within a day or two. Alternatively, you can send us a letter and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
Musical Connections is a registered charity number 1165993.
