Who are we

Playing for Cake (PFC) is a Community Interest Company (CIC) based in North Norfolk. We are a group of community musicians that work on a not-for-profit basis to provide interactive music sessions to promote health and wellbeing.

Why do we need your help?

We (PFC team and people who attend our sessions) are performing a fundraising Easter panto on stage at the Sheringham Little Theatre on Saturday the 25th April at 7:30 pm, and we need money for props and costumes and printing and rehearsal space hire etc.

For many, it will be the first time they have been on stage, and we are all very excited (and a little scared) about taking on this ambitious community project.

The money raised from the panto will ensure that we can continue to run vital free sessions for many people in North Norfolk.

Why do we do what we do?

Fun, informal interactive music sessions can bring a range of known physical, social and emotional benefits to people. For example, singing increases physical activity, exercises the muscles in the head, neck, throat, torso and abdomen, increases social interaction and above all, can be tremendous fun! We see ourselves as musical facilitators to help people gain these benefits!

We work with clinical health care or educational professionals to help achieve specific health goals for service users and we work in a range of community-based settings, day-care centres, residential care homes and we can work with schools and youth centres.
