They use music and the arts as a catalyst to break down barriers, reduce isolation and enhance well-being. Their work includes those who are marginalised or excluded, such as displaced people and those seeking sanctuary, people facing mental health challenges, the elderly, the financially disadvantaged and socially excluded.
