Liverpool Philharmonic is delighted to announce a partnership with Alder Hey Children’s Hospital and Charity – Alder Hey Children’s Hospital Trust
Alder Hey has announced that it will be partnering with Liverpool Philharmonic to bring the therapeutic benefits of music therapy to children and young people in Liverpool. This programme uses music to improve the mental and physical health of people in the Liverpool City Region.
The initiative will be funded by Alder Hey Children’s Charity, which supports the coordination of all Arts for Health projects across the hospital. It will involve 36 weekly music-making sessions for patients on wards, working with staff, volunteers, children, and young people.
This is part of Liverpool Philharmonic’s Music and Health programme, now in its 15th year. It is now one of the UK’s longest-running and largest arts and health programmes. To date, over 21,500 individuals have benefitted from this programme.
