Now celebrating its 15th anniversary, the programme uses music to promote
               well-being and improve the mental and physical health of participants and

               patients.



               Working across 27 wards in four partners NHS trusts, the programme has
               supported 18,000 individuals across the Liverpool City Region, conducted

               15,000 hours of music-making, presented sessions in 50 health, social care

               and community settings and hosted 35 participant-led celebration events at
               Liverpool Philharmonic Hall.

               The programme also provides participants and NHS professionals access to

               free musical activities, concerts and rehearsal visits to hear the Royal

               Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra at Liverpool Philharmonic Hall.


               To mark its anniversary, until October 20, current and past participants will

               take part in special performances both on the stage and in hospital wards, led

               by musicians from the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.


               On October 16, a special performance event will also be held at the Houses of

               Parliament in Westminster, hosted by Dan Carden MP for Liverpool, Walton.


               Michael Crilly, director of Social Health and Community Inclusion, said: "Those

               of us connected to this partnership between Mersey Care and the

               Philharmonic over the last decade have witnessed first-hand the phenomenal

               impact that music has had upon the recovery journey of literally thousands of
               service users across all parts of our organisation.
