More Music works with Bay Medical Group, Integrated Care Community, Child & Adolescent Mental Health Service and Stanleys to provide Young Person’s Social Prescribers in Morecambe.
The Young Person’s Social Prescribing service was established in May 2022 and is delivered in a partnership between Stanleys Community Centre and More Music. The Young Persons Social Prescribers can accept referrals for people aged from 11 years to 19 years, who are registered with Bay Medical Group.
The roles support and empower young people, encouraging them to take control of their health and lifestyle choices. Working towards goals and positive wellbeing by focussing on what matters to them is a key part of this.
Social Prescribing can support:
– Lifestyle changes
– Connecting with groups and activities in the community
– Supportive conversations
– Improved health and wellbeing

Music for Health
The positive impact of group singing on both physical and mental health – for young and old alike – is well evidenced.
Singing your heart out can be joyful and uplifting, both during and after taking part.
In February 2019, Spirit of 2012 awarded pilot funding to two Music For Health projects in Morecambe: Seagull Café and Chameleons Singing for Health. Spirit have also made a further award to extend the impact of More Music’s Music for Health for a further two years.
Watch a short film giving an insight into Seagull Café here.

Spirit of 2012
We ran a research partnership project with the International Centre of Community Music. The resulting report ‘Working Together’ explores how partner- practitioners understand and communicate value within Music for Health in Morecambe: a partnership programme of three music groups facilitated by More Music, an NHS Social Prescribing team, and local well-being organisations.
