Beth Crosland, Aaron Soon

 

"As Pop-Up Performance Volunteers we work with our fellow music students to provide performances in the main entrance of York Hospital.  This opportunity compliments our Community Music module at university, providing the perfect platform for learning and experience within the community.   Alongside this, we’re also able to fundraise for York Teaching Hospital Charity, raising funds to support staff in making the hospital experience the best it can be for all who visit and stay there.”

Jennie Schofield, Eilish Jennison, Helen Mills

 

“As Music Wednesdays coordinator’s we have the opportunity to share music with staff, patients and visitors within York hospital. This is such a rewarding experience that we believe is an aid to recovery.  Being in hospital can be worrying, stressful and upsetting; it’s such a joy to see patients smile when they hear our music, often striking up conversations about their own musical experiences and commenting on the positive impact we have on the hospital environment.”
