Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!

I'm raising money for charity as part of running the London Landmarks Half Marathon.

Personally I like to spend my free time going to the theatre & giving back to my community. Therefore, I've partnered with Live Music Now as they perfectly combine these two interests.

Live Music Now creates inclusive, measurable social impact through music. Their work enhances quality of life, health and well-being. They reach over 55,000 people a year and train/employs 250 professional musicians.

This is particularly the case for older people living with dementia, or experiencing loneliness. Live Music Now works alongside care homes and day centres to co-create programmes bringing live music back into people’s lives, through concerts and residencies with trained musicians.

For example, because those in care homes often can’t get to concerts, they bring the concerts to the care homes. Performers make use of the space to interact directly with residents, using conversation, call-and-response and singalongs. The residents are invited to ask questions, play percussion and clap along with the music. In this way, the sessions are informal, organic and highly participatory in nature.

Please help me raise my target of £350 to support their cause, and make someones day brighter!
