We are thrilled to announce that Wishing Well Music for Health has been awarded a grant from Arts Council England to support our music programme in healthcare settings! This funding enables us to continue our mission of bringing live music to the heart of healthcare and offer moments of calm and connection for patients, families, and staff across the healthcare community in Sussex.
The grant will enable us to give music-making sessions for older patients and those recovering from stroke at Princess Royal Hospital in Haywards Heath and deliver our programme for patients in critical care at Royal Sussex County Hospital. We will also create inclusive musical experiences in public spaces of hospitals, spreading some joy and uplifting the environment for everyone present.
We are grateful to Arts Council England for supporting us to make a meaningful difference to those who are spending time in healthcare settings – thank you! Stay tuned for updates on the programme as it unfolds!
