Expression Concert Music Foundation CIC

About us

Our organisation transforms lives through evidence based music therapy and educational programmes that target disadvantaged communities in England, particularly underserved areas like Stockport, Greater Manchester. We address mental health struggles, social isolation, and limited creative opportunities, using music to improve well-being, foster resilience, and create pathways for growth.

Who we serve

We support diverse groups with tailored programmes, including:

• Children, youth, and adults facing mental health challenges or trauma, benefiting from therapeutic interventions
• individuals in hospitals, care homes, and rehabilitation centres, where music therapy aids recovery
• at-risk youths aged 16 to 25 years, lacking creative opportunities, gaining skills and employment pathways
• families and communities affected by poverty, disability, or isolation, finding connection through creative activities
• local musicians and artists seeking professional development and community engagement
• adults aged 25 to 75 years, benefiting from music based activities to reduce stress and enhance cognitive health

Our programmes include:

• music therapy: evidence-based sessions in community and healthcare settings to manage anxiety and support recovery
• educational workshops: creative spaces for youth and adults to build skills and confidence
• artist development: training for musicians to lead community projects
