Help us bring free weekly music sessions to street homeless people through a project which will engage participants with over a hundred hours of music-making, enabling them to connect with support services and make long-lasting changes to their lives.

Situation

Frontline day centres provide immediate short term services to alleviate the physical hardships of those sleeping rough-including hot breakfasts, showers, laundry, clothes, haircuts, luggage storage and mail collection. Our challenge is to engage people with the services that will result in long-term changes so that they no longer need day centres; mental health support services, advice and referral services which assist with accommodation, jobs and benefits, and drugs and alcohol support.

Solution

Engagement with our project encourages people to connect with the centre, which leads to the accessing of support services. The results are tangible: following on from our intervention in 2017, of the 30 people that we worked with, 17 people found work and 25 people found accommodation. Added to this the personal, social and therapeutic benefits of singing and participation with music-making alleviates isolation and lack of activity and provides relief for people with chaotic lives.
