George’s Rockstars was set up in memory of 6 year old Gorgeous George. Our mission is to make children in hospitals smile through the power of music therapy.
George’s Story
We became a registered charity in March 2020!
George adored music and nature and had a huge zest for life and an infectious smile and character.
The charity was inspired by George’s experience with music therapy during intensive treatment at Bristol Children’s Hospital. Music therapy was the highlight of George’s week and gave a then 4 year old George a way to express his frustrations and fears of being in isolation in hospital.
Music therapy isn’t widely available in NHS hospitals so George’s family set up the charity to bring music therapy to children in hospital, many of which have serious and/or life limiting illnesses / disabilities and like George, spend too much of their childhood in hospital.
We became a registered charity in March 2020!
We are incredibly proud to be supported by some amazing causes…

Music should be accessible to every child 🎶
For many of the brave children we support during their hospital stays, holding and playing traditional instruments can be difficult due to limited dexterity. We believe that physical barriers should never stand in the way of a child's ability to play, create, and express themselves.
That’s why last year we were absolutely thrilled to introduce our new CMPSR digital music controllers to our music therapy sessions!
These incredible, accessible devices allow children to trigger sounds, play notes, and make music with just the lightest touch or swipe. It completely levels the playing field, ensuring that the focus remains entirely on the joy of making music. As one of our parents recently shared, our music therapy is "suitable for every child, no matter the need or illness. Super inclusive."
A massive and heartfelt THANK YOU to the Andy T Foundation and the Freemasons. It is entirely through your generous grant funding that we were able to purchase these controllers. Your support is directly translating into smiles, laughter and engagement on the wards.
When 100% of parents tell us that music therapy makes the hospital an easier and happier place for their child, tools like the CMPSR ensure that absolutely no one is left out of that experience.
Thank you for helping us bring the magic of music to even more children! 💛

🎸 NEW HEADLINER ALERT! 🎸
We’re absolutely thrilled to welcome Lawson Rose Estate Agents to the George’s Rockstars family as one of our amazing Headliners! ⭐️
Following their fantastic support at our charity golf day, the team at Lawson Rose wanted to take their support even further and we’re delighted to announce that they will now be sponsoring 2 music therapy sessions every month at their local hospital Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth.
That means their support will help bring music and moments of joy to children spending time in hospital right here in their local community.
We couldn’t think of a better example of a local business turning its support into real, ongoing impact for local children and families.
A huge THANK YOU to the whole team at Lawson Rose for believing in our musical mission and helping us bring more smiles to children in hospital. 🎵
Welcome to the Rockstars, Lawson Rose! 🎸⭐️
