“In 2025 alone, the charity delivered an incredible 7,255 music therapy sessions to 1,642 people across 51 locations in Scotland.
“Those figures are a powerful reminder of why we come together every year.
“Music really does have the ability to break down barriers, create connections and change lives, and it’s wonderful to see Scotland’s music community continuing to make such a meaningful difference.”
