Charity partnership and local impact
The NHS My Music initiative began in 2025. JOY. Concerts runs the series in a long-term partnership with My Charity University Hospitals Sussex.
Organisers say 100% of profits from tickets and merchandise are returned to the community. Those funds will support seven local hospitals.
- Investments include neonatal equipment purchases.
- Funds will finance advanced technology for cancer treatment.
- Support also covers staff wellbeing initiatives.
Giles Witcomb, Head of Fundraising, says the concerts allow the charity to extend services beyond standard NHS provision. The events aim to combine commercial viability with clear philanthropic goals.
