Share a Song to Belong with Make Some Noise this December and end a tough year on a musical and fun note!
Make Some Noise inviting people of all ages to Share a Song to Belong with them this December as part of its annual fundraising appeal so that our free music sessions, which improve mental health, wellbeing and reduce isolation don't stop.
"I suffer with my mental health really bad. They really helped with everything that was going through my mind. They are literally my legends through lockdown." - Young Beneficiary
Childhood trauma affects a young persons sense of identity and through its inspiring programme of free music making workshops and performances Make Some Noise recognises the healing power of music and the sense of belonging music can bring.
Singing releases feel-good endorphins, making music reduces stress and anxiety, writing lyrics helps express feelings and playing music together widens friendship circles. Make Some Noise workshops allow children and young people to do this, whilst having fun, which is an essential part of childhood.
In order to continue to provide free services and support for children and young people with learning needs, disabilities and mental health issues across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent, Make Some Noise is aiming to raise well needed funds through this appeal which runs from 14th to 20th December 2020.
"Please join us and support our growing number of Musical Heroes who are choosing Make Some Noise as their charity this Christmas and fundraising towards our £3000 target. Why not check out all the songs being shared on www.facebook.com/makesomenoisewm as our musical heroes have been taking to the virtual stage for a great cause. " Tim Sharp, Chief Executive Officer for Make Some Noise.
