Transforming Lives Through Music: Our Jacaranda Partnership

We are proud to announce an inspiring partnership with Jacaranda and Jacaranda Baltic, to change the lives of local people who draw on care and support through music.

Proudly founded in Merseyside almost 40 years ago, delivering more than 8 million hours of support, we support and employ thousands of people in the Liverpool City Region. Liverpool’s iconic bar, music venue and record store brand are launching JacCAREanda – a creative partnership to champion Community Integrated Care.

Through this partnership, artists performing at Jacaranda venues will generously donate exclusive memorabilia from their concerts – including setlists, song lyrics and equipment. These unique items will be auctioned to fund important support, including music therapy, creative enablement workshops, and music-based reminiscence for polder people. The venue will also be delivering special experiences that bring moments of hope, joy and opportunity for people supported by our charity.

The launch of the partnership was recently celebrated with a special online Beatles tribute concert. The concert was free to all disabled communities and hosted on our charity’s acclaimed online experiences platform, www.What-To-Do.co.uk. The timing of the event also marked the historic anniversary of the world’s first performance of The Beatles by Lennon, McCartney, Harrison, Sutcliffe and Best at The Jacaranda Club in Liverpool in August 1960!

A Partnership Rooted In Community And Creativity

John Hughes, Director of Partnerships at Community Integrated Care, says: “This partnership has a vital purpose. Music plays an incredibly powerful role in sensory wellbeing, personal expression and happiness, so the funds and opportunities generated in this partnership will truly empower and change lives.

Too often, people who draw on care and support are unseen and overlooked, so it is incredibly inspiring to be partnering with such an iconic, vibrant and loved brand. We have been inspired by the strong sense of community in the Jacaranda venues and store, and the team’s commitment to ensuring that everyone can feel the joy of music. We can’t wait to work with them to use the power of music to change hundreds of local lives.”

Graham Stanley, Managing Director of Jacaranda, says: “This collaboration with Community Integrated Care is a proud moment for the Jacaranda team. We admire the charity’s impact in delivering life-changing support to so many people in our local communities. Our Jacaranda community, artists, and team members are incredibly excited to have the opportunity to help ensure that music can empower many lives.”

“We’re really thrilled that the partnership kicked off with a special free Beatles performance on the charity’s What To Do platform. It was inspiring to see so many people, locally and nationally, come together and experience an unforgettable night inspired by the heritage of Jacaranda.”
