On Monday 23rd please join us in wearing odd socks to spread awareness for World Down Syndrome day in honour of our beautiful Albie Kershaw. Please share your pictures with us so we can show our residents everyone else in their odd socks 😊

Whilst the day is about raising awareness we would really appreciate if you can make a small donation to an amazing local charity Jolly Josh
which provides a safe place and support for children and young adults living with disabilities and their family.

If we all group together and just donate a £1 each the end result would make such a difference to some seriously amazing children.

Thanks everyone ❤️

Want to join us in making a difference? Barley view is raising money to benefit Jolly Jos… Sinead Kershaw needs your support for Join us in wearing odd socks

On Monday, Music for All spent a wonderful afternoon at the House of Lords, hosted by The Lord Bichard KCB. The event marks a momentous start to our charity’s 30th birthday celebrations and highlighted our incredible achievements and impact so far.

The afternoon’s proceedings included a keynote speech from neuroscientist Dr Julia Jones outlining the proven science behind music's effect on our physical and mental well-being - we were also able to demonstrate and present the impact and return of our targeted investment thanks to extensive research carried out by volunteer consultant Matthew Kaley. Our Chair, Tony Followell thanked Music for All Ambassadors including Angellica Bell, Cathy Newman, Gareth Malone, Kenza Blanka and Orphy Robinson, who were able to join us for the afternoon. The charity is proud to be part of a powerful ecosystem of music organisations across the UK - many of these industry representatives packed out the Attlee Room, along with Lords and MPs plus key donors and supporters.

We were thrilled to invite some of our grant recipients to speak, including Nigel Clegg who illustrated the impact of a Power of Music Fund grant on Barley View care home residents. In addition we were joined by music lead Jane Hurst from Middleton Primary School along with pupils and teachers who delighted us with a musical performance.

We were delighted to see the room buzzing with conversation and a shared passion for the work we do. Thank you to everyone who was able to join us as well as our fantastic staff and trustees, helping us spread the message to more people about our incredible charity: making music really does change lives. 🎶

To ensure the charity can support disadvantaged music makers now and for the next 30 years, please donate today! https://www.musicforall.org.uk/donate-now/
