Organisation description: Our organisation was formed to spread joy and connection through music and community. Our main objective is to offer group drumming workshops to groups who have been affected by mental health issues, homelessness and addiction, alongside supporting elderly people and those with additional needs. We also deliver events for the wider community.
The benefits of group drumming for physical and mental wellbeing is well documented, and some studies and papers to support this can be viewed here: https://www.facebook.com/pg/DrumHappyUK/photos/?tab=album&album_id=162064085332005
