Having seen the enjoyment Georges Rockstar Music Therapy sessions bring to patients on other ward areas, it would be fantastic if new sponsors could be found, to help this special charity expand their visits here in Southampton, to include our PMU patients. Please contact George's Rockstars if you know any businesses that would like to help spread some happiness. Xx .

🎵 Yesterday George’s mum Amy met with the divisional lead of children’s nursing and the head of Southampton Hospitals Charity to explore how we can expand music therapy across all wards at Southampton Children’s Hospital, by far our biggest regional children’s hospital.
Right now, our music therapist Louise is providing 2.5 days a week across 5 of the 10 children’s wards including intensive care, oncology, neurology, and cardiac. The demand is huge: doctors, parents, and staff frequently stop her in the corridors asking if she can support children in departments we simply can’t reach yet as a small charity.
Our NHS colleagues from child psychology to the new learning disability nurse are very clear: they want music therapy available for every child and family in hospital, regardless of diagnosis or ward.
We’re now working closely with the hospital team to make this vision a reality. To do that, we need to grow. That’s why we’re launching a new initiative, inviting Southampton-based businesses to become headline sponsors of music therapy sessions at the hospital.
💡 It’s a simple but powerful way for local companies to give back- bringing comfort, joy, and emotional support to children and families facing serious illness, disability, or mental health crisis right here in their community. Drop us a message to find out more.
