Music in Hospitals is a charity whose mission is to
improve the quality of life for adults and children with all kinds of illness
and disability through the joy and therapeutic benefits of professionally
performed live music in hospitals, hospices, day care centres, special schools,
nursing and residential homes.
‘Creating Joy Through Music’ is their motto, and it
certainly did here at the Hospice.
Rick Christian, guitarist and singer joined us for
an afternoon of musical entertainment.
All the patients were encouraged to be involved in some way, whether it
was singing along whilst still making their crafts, tapping their hands and
feet or shaking their egg shakers!
Our patients enjoyed the afternoon thoroughly; live
music can make such a big difference, improving emotional well being, lifting
the spirit, stimulating reminiscence and promoting conversation.
