Delivered by True Cadence
In 2024, the Foundation for Future London awarded a grant to True Cadence for its project “Reconnect through Music” through our Large Grant Scheme.
Over 12 months, The Reconnect Through Music Project (RTM), led by True Cadence and Beyond a Song CIC, addressed critical community issues such as isolation, mental health challenges, accessibility, and intergenerational disconnect.
The Large Grant Scheme is part of our Westfield East Bank Creative Futures Fund, funded by Westfield Stratford City.
Westfield East Bank Creative Futures Fund is an award-winning innovative five-year programme that aims to invest £10 million into the local communities of Newham, Tower Hamlets, Hackney and Waltham Forest. The programme has transformed and catalysed the lives and careers of over 19,000 people in East London by putting funding, resources and support straight into local people’s hands.
Over 12 months, The Reconnect Through Music Project (RTM), led by True Cadence and Beyond a Song CIC, addressed critical community issues such as isolation, mental health challenges, accessibility, and intergenerational disconnect.
Using a combination of music therapy, creative expression, and mindfulness activities, the intergenerational programme provided engaging and life-changing experiences for participants across different age groups in East London.
The co-designed programme created a safe space for residents across various East London boroughs, including Hackney, Newham, Tower Hamlets, Barking and Dagenham and Waltham Forest, to reconnect with their creative selves and their loved ones.
This programme will launch in 2024 with the exact date and time TBD.
If you are interested in taking part or learning more about the project, please email programmes@truecadence.org with “Reconnect through Music programme” in the subject heading, and we’ll be in touch with more details and sign-up information as they become available.
