The OHMI Trust has been selected to feature in a BBC Radio 4 Charity Appeal, in support of its Instrument Hire Scheme to continue.
OHMI’s appeal will air on 28 January, at 07:55 and 21:25, and on 1 February 2024, at 15:27.
The trust, based in Birmingham, supports disabled musicians of all ages, worldwide, to play instruments in various settings, with a particular focus on school children and young people through its Music-Makers programme. The Instrument Hire Scheme allows musicians to try out different instruments at affordable rates.
The voice of the appeal is social scientist and bioethicist Tom Shakespeare, who will share stories of disabled musicians such as Maria who was born without a left hand but plays the clarinet, and Kalia who has hemiplegic cerebral palsy and plays the bagpipes.
