Winter Wellbeing
At the Benedetti Foundation, we know that music can provide solace, uplift and joy for people of all ages, but sometimes that’s not enough.
We are deeply committed to investing in the wellbeing of those around us and are honoured to be collaborating with Green Cross Training this Winter. We will be working together to spread the gift of wellbeing through a series of one-hour webinars to offer help to those needing mental health support and to promote healthier work and home environments.
The Benedetti Foundation is also proud to partner with Intermission – a programme established by violinists Elena Urioste and Melissa White dedicated to music, movement and mindfulness.
Throughout early December, the Benedetti Foundation will be delivering a series of wellbeing sessions for adults and young people involved in music with Nicola Benedetti, Rachel Cooper, Lee Holland and Elena Urioste to complement the training Green Cross Training provides.
