About this cause

Music in Hospitals & Care Scotland is a Scottish registered charity that brings the joy of live music to people of all ages across Scotland. Each year, our 1,600 live music sessions brighten the lives of people who can’t access live music performances whilst they are patients in hospital wards or hospice centres, pupil’s in special schools or residents in day care or care home settings. Our music brings pleasure and happiness to over 30,000 people on a yearly basis – with our youngest audience member being 5 months and our oldest being 101 years young.

How this cause brings people in the community together

We've learned from other projects that the positive effects of our work trickle out to the wider members of the community, through our audience members to their friends & family. We anticipate: 1. an increased awareness of the transformative power of bringing arts into healthcare settings 2. that friends & family will be encouraged to attend the concerts to share the special musical occasion too.
