together in musical expression

T.I.M.E. is founded on the belief that music is for everyone. We’re an Essex-based charity devoted to breaking down barriers and bringing people of all ages and abilities together to experiment, grow, and have fun through music. Our events are designed to be accessible and inclusive to people with special needs, mental health challenges, and dementia. All are welcome, and no previous music knowledge is required.  We don’t believe in rules or limits — music is for anytime, anywhere, and anyone. Our ever-evolving collection of musical experiences includes therapeutic and sensory-based relaxation sessions, songwriting workshops, instrument tuition, and other forms of creative and physical expression. We’ve brought these fun, free-flowing creative experiences to educational institutions, care facilities, recovery and treatment centers, and more.  Our work is made possible through charitable contributions; donations are welcome and appreciated. T.I.M.E. is also supported through private music sessions that we offer as a separate service. Get in touch to book your session! 

blended monkey

Blended Monkey was founded by husband and wife team, Simon and Louise Taggart, whose woodturning and pottery studios are based in a small village on the Norfolk/Cambridgeshire border, where the surroundings and changing seasons provide ample inspiration for some of the designs and ideas that can be found in their pieces. "Our Blended Monkey gardens provide ample inspiration for our work, and is the perfect setting for woodturning & pottery courses. Louise (ceramicist) - I studied at the Falmouth School of Art & Design and I am interested in various art forms, design and applied arts. Simon (woodturner) - I have been teaching woodturning for many years and I love working with wood & exploring its versatility." - Louise & Simon They offer half- and full-day 1-2-1 or pairs experiences, including their unique "2 Crafts in 1 Day" workshops where the students gets to explore woodturning in the morning and then pottery in the afternoon.  All workshops include refreshments; the full-day workshops also provide lunch - catering to all requirements and allergies.   Simon and Louise are keen supporters of and fundraisers for the Mind charity, and the past few years have seen Simon and Louise focus their efforts on offering creative therapy workshops to provide rehabilitation and therapy for people of all ages who are suffering with brain trauma, strokes, Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. They are also increasingly seeing students who are coping with poor mental health (depression, anxiety, PTSD …) often resulting from stressful jobs which take their toll physically & psychologically. The regular practice of any art or craft is incredibly beneficial in the treatment of those with poor mental health or who are rehabilitating after a brain trauma. Simon and Louise have seen amazing results in some of their students who come to them regularly to create with wood & clay. They work together with care associations, council departments & individuals to tailor their half- or full-day workshops to suit the individual needs of the student. They really enjoy sharing their woodturning and ceramics expertise and their lovely environment to contribute towards the rehabilitation and therapies of people in need.

haddington table tennis club

“Anyone for table tennis?” was an article published in the East Lothian Courier in November 2002. It resulted in an agreement by six local enthusiasts to start a club, playing in the Corn Exchange. In 2015 the Club embarked on a 5-year plan to boost the numbers at all ages playing table tennis across East Lothian. Providing opportunities for young people to take up the sport through schools and community centres and establishing table tennis as a regular form of exercise for people of all ages, including as a therapy for dementia. We run coaching sessions for juniors and seniors twice weekly as part of our club nights, playing on 10 tournament standard tables. In 2015 the Club secured 4-year funding from Sportscotland for a part-time Development Officer. As a result the Club has launched Table Tennis East Lothian in partnership with Active Schools and with sponsorship support from Hab Fab Ltd and EDF Energy. The club leant tables and equipment to primary schools to promote and develop table tennis. As a result of this several hundred pupils each week across East Lothian will be playing table tennis. In 2016, Haddington Table Tennis Club were named ‘East Lothian Sports Club of the Year’. Richard Yule, Chief Operating Officer of Table Tennis Scotland, adds: “Haddington Table Tennis Club are regarded by Table Tennis Scotland as one of our most progressive clubs and a role model for others across Scotland. Their progress is particularly impressive for such a relatively new club.”

connections guardianship

Guardian Connection was founded for the purpose of providing unique solutions to guardianship challenges facing the elderly and their caregivers. Along with a burgeoning aging population is a rapidly growing demographic of individuals dealing with the debilitating effects of mental decline, dementia, and illness. Family members will often obtain legal guardianship of their loved ones so that they have the ability to provide them with necessary care. Individuals without such willing relatives, however, are dependent on strangers to identify and resolve their guardianship needs. Alone in facilities, they await the appointment of a guardian with the authority to make decisions on their behalf. Continuity of services is essential to the health and long-term prospects of the elderly and disabled. Without a guardian in place, the ability of care providers to offer such continuity is significantly hampered. Previously reliant on an overburdened public system or expensive law firms, care providers and families now turn to Guardian Connection for assistance.
