Help us bring the joy of intergenerational music and connection to more people in London
Songs & Smiles is our award-winning programme that brings 0–4-year-olds, their grown-ups and older people together through music, play and laughter, right in the heart of care homes, where it’s needed most.
Thanks to funding from the brilliant City Bridge Foundation, we’re looking for care homes across London to host these joyful weekly sessions at a reduced cost (part-funded).
But we need your help to find them!
