Evaluation Findings
Wellbeing and community cohesion through music
In 2019 three settings caring for older people enjoyed weekly visits from children aged 10 months – 4 years, for shared music-making.
PhD student Liv McLennan gathered feedback from parents, practitioners and the older people taking part to evaluate the impact on wellness for all involved and community cohesion.
The conclusion was positive with a marked ‘feel good’ impact on all participants as well as benefits for confidence and social skills being observed.
