We know 'Creativity is fundamental for our health & wellbeing & supports us to live well for longer'. Creative Health Review 2023. Despite the proven impact, creativity is all too often overlooked by many in our local community. We address key issues including promoting well-being, reducing social isolation, and supporting mental health, particularly among young people. Currently, over 50% of our work is focused in Crawley, an area facing significant deprivation & complex social challenges.

We will run 21 free concerts in a range of community venues: churches, hospices, homeless shelters & youth centres. With free refreshments we’ll create a welcoming opportunity for people to meet & make friends. We will also run 14 inclusive community music making sessions for all ages/abilities including a community orchestra & more informal music collective & 7 virtual music clubs. To help embed our work in the local community we will work alongside local community groups & schools.
