Matthew's work in community music is at the core of his artistic identity and has reached all over Scotland and beyond. He has worked for several projects in Glasgow, including music sessions for adults with additional support needs for Hear my Music, and running sessions for teenagers and children for Givin' it Laldie.
With an enduring passion for serving children in any context, Matthew has a heart for the vulnerable and isolated which he puts into practice daily. He has a track record of training and work with Scripture Union Scotland including work as a group leader and archery coach, and is a well-known volunteer.
In the first two weeks of July 2012 he provided a music programme in Lugoj Orphanage, Romania — a centre for abandoned or disabled children and adults.
