Description

On this weeks episode of JobsWorth, I sat down with Mark Barnacle and Mike Barnes, co-founders of the charity Together in Musical Expression (T.I.M.E). They discuss their early musical influences, the evolution of music consumption, and the therapeutic power of music, especially in relation to memory and emotional well-being. We also learn about their experience of establishing a charity, the challenges they faced in funding, and the importance of purpose in their work. Through their experiences, they highlight how music can bring people together and create meaningful connections. In this conversation, we discus the intricacies of running a charity, emphasising the importance of treating it like a business while also highlighting the personal journeys that led them down this path. They share insights on the impact of music therapy, particularly in dementia care, and the significance of community engagement and breaking down stigmas associated with disabilities.
