Working in partnership, NHS Forth Valley and Artlink Central have placed 5 digital pianos in NHS Forth Valley premises, including Forth Valley Royal Hospital in Larbert and Falkirk Community Hospital.

They are now looking for volunteers to play the pianos for patients, visitors and staffs during their free time.

The idea to place the pianos in health settings has its roots in research which shows that music can have physical, psychological and biological benefits within these settings, reducing levels of anxiety and stress.

Volunteers will join the range of amateur and casual performers providing musical entertainment in wards, including staff choirs and students.

For further information regarding this opportunity, please contact Kevin Harrison or Robin Anderson at Artlink Central by phone: 01786 450971, or email: info@artlinkcentral.org
