We believe everyone should be able to access and experience music. 

"I swear to God, your sessions should be available in the NHS. They're the best medicine anyone has ever prescribed and the only side effect is pure joy. Your impact in hospital settings is immeasurable. You have made the room safe for Ava when she has felt anything but safe. You've been there for cannulas going in, ECGs, EEGs. You've been there post-surgery, prior to surgery. You've sang to her as she's gone to sleep under the care of an anaesthetist. On many occasions, you didn't even know you were there. But Ava did, and I did, and you made everything feel less terrifying. We weren't alone.” 

Soundabout uses music to support over 1,500 Learning Disabled children and adults with complex support needs to thrive annually. 

We do this through over 1,200 music making activities and training opportunities for professionals and parents/carers.

We need your help to continue these services. 

Over the past twenty-eight years, Soundabout’s approach has supported Learning Disabled people's voices to be heard, while improving: 

• communication
• connectedness
• self-expression
• enjoyment
• health and wellbeing
