Recipient Org: Description Music24 provides high quality community music services to those most vulnerable and socially isolated in our community. Our main area of work involves offering therapeutic music-making sessions to adults with learning disabilities, mental health conditions and dementia. We are dedicated to serving a long-term goal of shaping community music therapy and inclusive community music-making to help bring diverse communities together. In Luton we currently support a long-running community music group called First Note, (this is in its 8th year) and have established a dementia support service that has been running for 4 years. The services we offer differ in nature and provide opportunities to a broad spectrum of people at different stages of dementia. In all our sessions, activities include: singing, songwriting, dancing, playing a variety of instruments and sometimes using music for relaxation and reminiscence. Music24 has also developed 2 new user-led groups aimed at adults with enduring mental health conditions. We have established four groups in Hertfordshire, in Watford, Welwyn Garden City (both supported by HCF), Stevenage (previously funded by the London Luton Airport Near Neighbours via BLCF) and in Hoddesdon, (previously funded by The Aviva Cmmunity Fund). In order to enable Music24 to develop, we have submitted an application to become a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. This new status and the re-evaluation of our service provision is hoped to help Music24 to become more sustainable and allow us to continue to explore new innovative ways of helping our the community we serve in.
