    Story

    District Musicians are passionate about reaching people with music, relieving the burdens faced by people who are living with dementia or facing end-of-life. We have always brought music into hospitals, but with the Music To Your Door project, we're trying to do something very different.

    We know that there are many isolated people living at home with these conditions. Working in partnership with Dr Penny Blackwell at Hannage Brook Medical Centre, we are now able to identify and reach these people in the Derbyshire Dales, and we're going to take the music straight to them!

    Music To Your Door will mean we can visit people at home, bringing our instruments and voices to share a range of music including popular songs from the 50s, 60s and 70s. Sessions will take place outside the home, either in front of the residence or in a garden. Full Covid safety measures will be in place to protect both clients and musicians. After a session lasting between 20 minutes and half an hour, we will move on to the next home.

    We are applying to a large number of funding bodies to support this project, but with the pandemic, it's a very competitive time in arts funding. We're keen to get going while the weather is still on our side!

    Your donation, however small, will help us to launch this project as soon as possible, making a very real difference to the lives of people living with dementia or facing end-of-life, their families and carers.

    You'll be able to stay up-to-date with our sessions on our social media or the District Musicians web site. Thanks so much for pledging whatever you can!

        What is crowdfunding?

        Crowdfunding is a new type of fundraising where you can raise funds for your own personal cause, even if you're not a registered charity.

        The page owner is responsible for the distribution of funds raised.
