Changing lives through music and creativity
Addiction destroys lives, families, and communities — but recovery is possible.
At New Note Orchestra, we use music and creativity to help people rebuild their lives, connect with others, and rediscover joy.
We need your support to make that happen.
Why your help matters
Through our creative recovery projects – New Note Orchestra, New Note Strummers, New Note Dance and Key Changers – people in recovery gain confidence, community, and hope.
All our participants are rebuilding their lives, and your generosity helps them on that journey. Research from Public Health England suggests that for every £1 spent on recovery, society saves £4 through reduced pressure on hospitals, police and prisons.
And the ripple effect is real. When one person recovers, up to ten others – family, friends and community members – are positively affected too.
The impact of your support
100% of members say our support helped their recovery
100% feel more positive about themselves
83% report reduced isolation
Since we launched in 2015, we’ve delivered almost 800 creative sessions.
Last year we had nearly 1,000 attendances, and we’ve supported 150 people in the first half of 2025 alone.
Every note played is another step towards sustained sobriety – and a life rebuilt.
