Objectives

Holistic Harmonies are a Community Interest Company based in Liverpool delivering a weekly Singing For Wellbeing group, Intergenerational Music & Movement Programmes and Family Social Events.

Holistic Harmonies are driven by a passion for music and use the artform as a vehicle to promote positive wellbeing and togetherness for the family and wider community across across all lifespans.

Our Mission - Holistic Harmonies uses music to connect communities through choirs, family socials, cross-generational groups and music & movement sessions to enhance the health and wellbeing of all.

Our Purpose - We believe that forming human to human connections through the magic of music and movement can transcend difference and encourage togetherness, establishing communities that demonstrate care, support and warmth.

Our Values

1. Community Connection - Creating an inclusive, supportive, positive and accepting space

2. Joy - Bringing a circle of musical fun, care and warmth 

3. Expression - Allowing everyone the freedom to be themselves

4. Challenge - Challenging old ways of thinking through new ways of sharing together

5. Collaboration - Working in partnership with organisations to achieve a common goal

Our Vision - Much is changing and progressing in the world of Arts For Health, and Holistic Harmonies aims to be at the forefront of this movement. We aim to be the leading experts in Singing For Wellbeing and cross-generational practise in the North West, working collaboratively with Social Prescribers, Health Care Providers and Arts Organisations.

Activities

All of our activities have the same objective: to support health & wellbeing through the arts.

INTERGENERATIONAL WORK

In July 2021 Holistic Harmonies received a grant from the National Lottery Community Fund for us to deliver our 6 week Music & Movement Programme in 3 care homes and 1 community setting.  

Beginning in January 2022, once Covid 19 lockdown rules had eased, we headed in to meet our groups.  We made a decision to focus only on the older generation at this point as the health and wellbeing of this group has been severely affected, and we wanted to ease ourselves in gently.

We now feel ready to bring families with babies and pre-school age children into these settings so they can meet each other. Using our specifically designed Music & Movement programme we will start to build a sense of community together to support health, wellbeing, and social connection.
