Oliver Irwin is raising money for Music of Life

London Landmarks Half Marathon 2026 · 12 April 2026 ·

Music of Life is a charity that uses high-quality music-making to advance education and improve the health and well-being of disabled children and young people aged up to 25. We engage with our students on a long-term basis, using music as a proven method to boost their confidence and social skills, help them achieve recognised qualifications, improve their chances of employment, raise their expectations of life and make positive changes to their medical conditions. We aim for every disabled child to have equal access to music-making opportunities as any other child and to experience the positive impact of music in all aspects of their lives – personally, socially and academically. We work to promote and enhance the involvement of highly skilled musicians and music teachers in projects with special needs children, raise awareness of importance of musical education and provide practical experience of working in special needs settings for teachers and organisations.

Story

Music of Life is a charity that uses high-quality music-making to improve the health and well-being of young people with disabilities.

Music of Life works in schools and communities where music opportunities are scarce, giving children with disabilities the chance to grow in confidence and connection. Their programmes build skills and belonging while challenging misconceptions about disability and opening doors to a more inclusive musical world
