Arts & Health Commission - HeArTS Music and Singing Group
Torbay Culture and HeArTs (Health and the Arts in Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust) are looking to commission experienced music facilitators to lead a singing and music making project at Torbay Hospital.
Through the “Changing Lives” strand of Torbay’s Great Place Scheme, Torbay Culture is supporting projects that help residents lead healthier, happier lives by building partnerships with different sectors to embed creativity into the lives of those who can benefit the most.
This project seeks to use singing and music making with a group of out-patient participants with long term conditions, their carers and hospital staff, to:
build positive rapport between the group members;
promote the social, emotional and physical health of the group; and
catalyse the creation of an ongoing singing group in the hospital.
If you are a music practitioner or organisation with a strong track record in participatory, co-designed arts practice and with experience in applying that practice to a health context, we’d love to hear from you.
