k u .co. mind our y think re #IFeelBetterWhen National Supporters 103 Moving InWards is making live music an everyday feature on mental health hospital wards, particularly focussing on intensive care units and forensic settings. Originally funded by the Arts Council England, the project is now a part of Develop- Insite CIC. Project lead, Pete Hirst, uses his earlier experiences of being an in-patient to help provide hope and support to those on the wards. The work is delivered by the acoustic band ‘Refuge’ and they provide: • Music Performances • Singing & Ukulele Workshops • Staff Training Packages to ensure sustainability Since its pilot in 2014, this project has continued with ward performances within Leicestershire Partnership Trust. “It was really refreshing to see such a large majority of the patients engaging in the music session and thoroughly enjoying it and having fun.” Jo Lock - Ward Matron - Watermead Ward In 2017, Moving InWards workshop training was also commissioned in the Devon Partnership NHS Trust.
