Lucy’s Room is a dedicated music therapy space opened in 2024. It was created thanks to Oxford Health Charity and fundraising led by Lucy’s family. Lucy had a deep love of music and this space created in her memory, provides a welcoming and safe environment where adults receiving care on the Warneford wards can make music, listen to music, and take part in music therapy sessions.
Research shows that music and other creative activities can have a positive impact on mental health and wellbeing. Music therapy can help people feel more motivated, express themselves creatively, build confidence, and develop social and communication skills. It can also support self-esteem and create a sense of safety, calm, and connection.
