Jessie's Fund is a UK charity helping seriously ill and disabled children by using music for communication and for therapy. We work with children in hospices and in other settings nationwide, providing a wide range of musical instruments and giving the children access to music-making and to music therapy. Our Soundtracks programme takes us into schools for children with special needs, where our creative workshops and staff training allow children the opportunity to develop through music.
