Rhythmix are thrilled to announce that we will be working with Brighton Run2Music! The run is open to people of all ages, fitness levels and backgrounds. You can groove to the music and run with your friends, children, parents or neighbours. The event takes place on 11th May on Madeira Drive along the Brighton seafront and you choose to do either 5k, 10k or a half marathon.
We are delighted to launch an evaluation report of our Wishing Well Music in Healthcare programme at The Royal Alexandra Children’s Hospital in Brighton. This report, created by East Midlands based organisation Well Within Reach, offers insights and resources for people working in the field of Culture and Health who are interested in deepening their understanding of how participatory music making can build relationships that benefit everyone on the hospital ward.
We wanted to work with Well Within Reach to better understand how music can support a child’s developing brain and nervous system during the potentially traumatic experience of being in hospital. The report presents key findings following a year of collaboration, observations and training.
2018 - Another year of stories, awards, and making music at Rhythmix!
We all know someone who benefits from what we do at Rhythmix. We all have experiences of friends or family members spending time in hospital, with a physical or learning disability, with Dementia, or mental health issues.
We’ve been using music to build a bridge to help people connect again.
We want to thank everyone who’s made this fantastic year possible - our staff, tutors, participants, families, partners, funders and supporters - thank you!
We would like to extend a huge thank you to the Brighton Lions Club and Rottingdean and Saltdean Lions Club who have collectively donated a huge £1200 to Rhythmix! It’s because of generous donations like this that Rhythmix can do the amazing work to improve people’s health and wellbeing across the South-East.

Hi folks!
I’m Rachel - the newest recruit at Rhythmix, in the role of Project Assistant for the Wishing Well programme. I’m super excited to be on board with Rhythmix and I’m already getting stuck in to the planning for 2019. What a fabulous charity and ethos… a joy to be a part of!
We met Jack two years ago when he first attended Rhythmix Music in Mind sessions at the Roomz in Hastings, after having been referred to us by the Early Intervention Service. Jack came to the sessions with a strong musical background. Despite his skills, Jack initially showed a lack of self confidence. As the group developed Jack was given the opportunity to peer mentor new people joining due to his considerable musical knowledge. Throughout his time at the sessions, Jack’s confidence has continued to increase.
Rhythmix are delighted to be shortlisted for the Sussex Business Awards in the Creative and Digital Skills category.
