We are governed by our Trustees: 

Claire Evennett, Margaret Lancaster and Penny Patton.

      To give you an idea of the range of our therapy work:

• We work on average with 250 clients throughout Hampshire and bordering areas, ranging from pre-school to older age.

• We work with clients individually or in groups, as dictated by their emotional needs.  
• Many clients receive on-going music therapy. The average length of therapy is 1 year.
• We work long-term with several schools throughout the area, including an integrated nursery, schools providing special education from age 2 – 19, and education centres for children who are educated outside the school environment.
• Jessie’s Fund – the specialist fund for music therapy with children - has awarded one year’s funding to extend our work in a Children’s Centre.
• We have completed one year of a Youth at Risk clinical research project, and will be receiving funding from the Music Therapy charity to continue for a second year.
• We work with adult learning disabled people through organisations providing residential care, day services, and an advocacy project.
• Adults with mental health needs refer themselves to group or individual music therapy at a community unit.
• We are invited to run occasional series of sessions for day patients attending a Hospice, as well as separate support sessions for their carers.
• We are often invited to provide one-off group sessions for Older People. Currently these are arranged through a county-wide club system, Age Concern day care centres and other care homes.

As well as providing regular music therapy, we also undertake assessments and provide workshops for organisations that care for people who could benefit from Music Therapy.

Gwyneth Herbert, jazz singer-songwriter and Key Changes' patron has said:

“I strongly believe that the music therapists at Key Changes make a huge difference to the lives of the people they work with. Having had some experience of working with adults and children with severe learning difficulties myself, I’ve seen the power of music to free them from the frustrating binds of conventional communication, and help them to explore and express their thoughts and feelings in rewarding ways.”
