Our first charity we are donating to this year is... 🥁🥁🥁🥁
Music24 is a local charity making a real difference across Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire through something very simple, and very powerful, music.
Music24 provides music therapy, community music-making groups and one-to-one sessions for adults of all ages. But at its heart, it’s about much more than music. It’s about connection. It’s about confidence. And it’s about making sure no one feels alone.
We support people living with dementia and their carers, people with learning disabilities, those experiencing mental health challenges, and people recovering from stroke or living with neuro-disabilities.
We also run welcoming Singing Cafés for older people who may be feeling isolated, recovering from illness, or simply looking to make new friends.
Our dementia groups in Stevenage, Cheshunt, Watford & Luton are uplifting sessions that spark memories, foster connections, and bring joy. It’s remarkable how a familiar tune can bring a smile, a story, or even a dance step back to life.
Our “First Note” groups in Luton, Stevenage, Biggleswade & Bedford support adults with learning disabilities, providing a safe and supportive space for them to create music and grow in confidence.
Our “Mind Our Music" sessions in Welwyn Garden City, Luton and Bedford support people experiencing mental health challenges, using music as a tool for wellbeing and self-expression.
And our Singing Cafés in Hitchin, Welwyn Garden City, Hertford, Luton, Bedford, Ampthill, Leighton Buzzard, and Flitwick are warm, welcoming hubs where people gather for song, laughter, and light refreshments- and yes, plenty of tea and cake!
Carers are always welcome to join in, or if they prefer, they can take a little well-earned respite while their loved one enjoys the session.
What we see time and time again is how music breaks down barriers. It lifts mood. It builds friendships. It reminds people that they are not alone. A room that starts quietly can quickly fill with harmony, laughter and conversation. That is the power of music.
