In the space provided below, please insert a general account of the company’s activities in the financial year to which the report relates, including a description of how they have benefited the community. Our organisation aims to brighten people’s lives through the magic of music & movement and have fun! We deliver our sessions to local community organisations, health & wellbeing groups, schools, children & adults with learning needs, care homes, day centres, dementia groups, mental health and many more. We started our sessions in July 2021 and what a difference they’ve made to many people’s lives. Carousel has helped to banish loneliness, giving people a sense of belonging, reducing anxiety and depression, improving self-expression and social and communication skills, increasing motivation and boosting cognitive performances. We have 2 regular weekly sessions for adults with learning needs, in Southport and Skelmersdale, improving our participants’ music knowledge and emotional resilience with approx. 30 participants taking part. We have regular contracts with Age UK Lancashire and care homes. We hold a ‘Memories R Made’ dementia choir every Tuesday afternoon in Southport, Wednesday morning at Sutton Grange Care Home in Banks, on Wednesday afternoon at Alsley Lodge in Rufford and at Brookside in Ormskirk on Thursday afternoons. We also have a music arts and crafts session every Friday morning, which started in July 2024. We hold fundraising events which included three performance shows last year plus our monthly adults with learning needs disco. We are really excited to start our new Drumming Eurhythmics project to help improve coordination, motor skills, cognitive development, emotional expression and stress relief. This will benefit social connection and team work. We regularly hand-out feedback forms which have all been positive and we’ve received some wonderful testimonials. We have 4 regular volunteers who make a huge difference to our sessions.
The key stakeholders are local care homes, day centres and schools where we provide our classes; along with the individuals of the local community who attend our classes. Other stake holders include our funding providers from whom we receive grants in order to pay for musical instruments and other equipment. We regularly distribute feedback forms at the end of classes and take on board any suggestions, so we can provide the best experience for our members.
The only amounts paid to director is for services as a qualified and professional facilitator delivering music and movement sessions. No remuneration has been paid for services as a director.
No transfer of assets has been made.
