HŌHEPA SERVICES LIMITED (HŌHEPA WELLINGTON BRANCH)

" Music and music therapy have a powerful ability to uplift, connect, and empower people with intellectual disabilities, but access to these opportunities is often limited by cost.

Receiving the MusicHelps Grant has been deeply meaningful for us and the people we support. By combining this funding with another grant, we were able to provide a full year of weekly group music therapy sessions—something that would not have been possible otherwise. The joy and confidence that has emerged through these sessions has been inspiring. Watching participants grow, express themselves, and form genuine connections, both with one another and with their music therapist, Carlos, has been fantastic . The grant has not only supported therapeutic outcomes, but has helped create a safe, joyful space. "
