Spirit of 2012 Funding Awarded to More Music for Music For Health Projects in Morecambe We are thrilled to be awarded further funding from Spirit of 2012 to continue the Seagull Café in partnership with Bay Medical Group. Spirit of 2012 are a grant making trust and a legacy project of the London 2012 Olympics. They believe that by supporting organisations like More Music, people can be more active, creative and connected, which in turn leads to positive social outcomes.
Here’s what Seagull Café visitors said:
We want to continue to help improve the health and well-being of people in Morecambe. We know that singing together and having friendly conversations can help people feel better. We believe that this work that connects our community and shows that we care has never been more important than at this very unusual time. During the lockdown period, creative work that brings people together has made a big difference to many.
As we look ahead and when the lockdown is eased, we need to continue to build on this and are exploring ways to include people who find it difficult or are unable to leave to leave their homes. Once it is safe to do so we will be opening the doors at More Music to Seagull Café, a sociable, fun and musical environment. Our weekly sessions have already been proven to have a positive effect on the mental health and wellbeing of people who come along.
"Coming to Seagull Café makes a big difference to our lives, from feeling isolated and uneasy we look forward to Tuesdays and come away feeling more positive."
“This project has made a major difference to my Dad’s life. He is more confident in social situations, loves the singing and is still singing the songs throughout the week at home.”
