Holly works her magic to write uplifting and engaging songs which create a feeling of connection and togetherness. By supporting us, you support amazing work like this, positively impacting hundreds of community participants, many of whom live with long term health conditions.

Beginning in lockdown, Shared Harmonies have created 4 incredible compositions, written and performed by our community participants. Our incredible composer, Holly, co-creates these songs by taking inspiration from participants' ideas, images, photographs, artwork and lyrics.
