Welcome to Open Harmony CIC
"Opportunity is a lifeline and a springboard. To thrive we must belong, and to grow we must thrive. We all have a story, a tune, a beat, and we raise each other when we join together in harmony."

Open Harmony is a community-led charitable organisation covering the whole of Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin. The main aim is to bring adults (aged 18+) together of all abilities and backgrounds, through the love of music. We're inclusive and all are welcome. It's a friendly, fun and safe environment.
Our purpose
Our purpose is to provide inclusive social spaces – in-person and online – for adults with little access to other meaningful sources of support, to meet on a regular, non-time limited basis, to enjoy, play, and learn about music. . By providing early prevention, we prevent or lessen the impact of mental health issues.
We empower people: our vibrant, creative and comfortable environment enables and encourages our members to thrive and grow. We transform lives:
"I feel like I'm living again", said Jan, after joining the Open Harmony community.

Who we help
The Open Harmony community supports people not served by other organisations: those worst affected by the cost-of-living crisis, living in areas of deprivation, and/or dealing with mental & physical health issues and the negative effects of isolation, loneliness and discrimination.
Our work has already begun with 82 community members living in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin.
