Worcester Music Festival 2025: Supporting Worcester Snoezelen

Worcester Music Festival is proud to announce Worcester Snoezelen as our chosen charity for 2025. All fundraising efforts from this year’s festival, taking place from Friday 12 to Sunday 14 September, will go directly toward supporting this vital local charity.

About Worcester Snoezelen

Worcester Snoezelen is a specialist leisure therapy centre offering a wide range of person-centred, multisensory activities for children and adults with learning disabilities and additional needs. Their services include sensory rooms, a hydrotherapy pool, music and art sessions, yoga and play therapy.

The centre provides a safe, welcoming environment where individuals can explore creative and sensory experiences tailored to their needs. With a unique self-referral system, Worcester Snoezelen supports over 1,100 beneficiaries annually, including those with conditions such as Down’s Syndrome, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Cerebral Palsy, and many others. Families also benefit from having a space where they can spend quality time together in an inclusive and accepting setting.

Music plays a central role in the charity’s work. Their bespoke music service includes one-to-one and group sessions, songwriting, music production, and performance opportunities. The Rock School band, made up of members and staff, regularly performs at community events, helping to promote visibility and acceptance for people with disabilities across Worcestershire.

What Your Donation Can Do

In March 2025, Worcester Snoezelen began the second phase of building work to expand and enhance its facilities. This includes a new immersive sensory room, improved accessibility, and a 20% increase in capacity for both individual and group bookings.

Funds raised through Worcester Music Festival will help ensure the charity can continue delivering its services throughout the expansion period. Your support will directly contribute to:

• Maintaining access to essential leisure therapy sessions during construction
• Expanding music and sensory programmes for members
• Increasing the reach and impact of the centre across Worcestershire and surrounding counties
• Supporting community performances that promote inclusion and visibility

• Make a donation at any festival venue via our charity bucket and tins
• Look out for our brilliantly dressed charity collectors who will be making special appearances throughout the weekend, welcoming cash and card donations

Every contribution, no matter the size, helps Worcester Snoezelen continue its life-changing work. Thank you for helping us make a meaningful difference in 2025.
