For over 30 years, MusicSpace has been providing low-cost music therapy to people of all ages. Our work has touched countless lives, helping individuals and families find solace, expression, and connection through the power of music. Today, we face a critical turning point, and we need your help to continue our vital mission.
We’ve created a short video that captures the essence of MusicSpace and the impact we’ve had on our community. This video tells the stories of the people we’ve helped and illustrates the transformative power of music therapy. We invite you to watch it and see firsthand the difference MusicSpace makes.
Why We Need Your Help
The current economic climate and the long-term impact of Covid-19 have hit us hard. After 33 wonderful years in Southville, we have made the difficult decision to close our beloved music therapy centre. Financial constraints, inflation, and the cost-of-living crisis have made it unsustainable to maintain a permanent building. However, our commitment to providing specialist music therapy remains unwavering.
Our Vision for the Future
We are determined to continue our work by transitioning to a more sustainable, community-based model. By moving to several community hubs across Bristol and the surrounding areas, we can reach even more people who need our services. This new model will allow us to extend our incredible outreach programs in early years’ settings, schools, care homes, and hospitals.
To achieve this transition, we aim to raise £50,000 of unrestricted funds. Over the past year alone, we have worked with 775 people, providing 7,300 music therapy sessions that have supported hundreds of families and individuals. These sessions have helped reduce anxiety, encourage self-expression, regulate feelings, and facilitate communication where words may be hard to find.
Your support is crucial to our success. By donating to our urgent fundraising campaign on JustGiving, you can help us reach our goal and ensure that MusicSpace continues to be a source of hope and healing. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a significant difference.
Music therapy has the potential to make a profound impact, and for many of our clients, it is the thing that makes THE difference.
Please watch our video, share it with your friends and family, and consider making a donation to support our cause.
Help us bring the healing power of music therapy to more people in more places. Together, we can make a lasting difference.
