About Rhythm Reaction CIC

Founded in 2015, Rhythm Reaction CIC delivers inclusive, therapeutic drumming workshops designed to improve mental health, wellbeing, and physical health. Their rhythm-based sessions are open to all — from individuals facing physical or mental health challenges to those simply seeking connection and creative expression.

Working across the Liverpool City Region, Rhythm Reaction partners with charities, CICs, and community groups to bring the healing power of drumming to people of all ages and abilities. Their workshops foster confidence, reduce isolation, and build community through shared rhythm and energy.

The Project: Developing Community Drumming in Halton

With support from Halton Housing’s 20 for 20 campaign, Rhythm Reaction CIC will deliver eight community drumming workshops in Widnes. The funding will cover venue hire and session facilitation, allowing up to 60 people per workshop to take part in engaging, therapeutic experiences that promote wellbeing and social connection.

Community Impact

These workshops will benefit Halton Housing customers and the wider community, bringing together people of all ages — including families, friends, and neighbours — in a safe, inclusive space. The sessions help reduce stress, improve mood, and foster a sense of belonging, especially for those who may feel isolated or vulnerable.

Having worked in Halton since 2017, Rhythm Reaction has already built a core group of regular attendees who’ve formed lasting friendships. This project will build on that success, expanding the reach and impact of their work across the borough.

Working Together with Halton Housing

Rhythm Reaction CIC is excited to collaborate with Halton Housing to engage residents and their wider networks. By working together, they aim to strengthen community ties and offer meaningful, creative experiences that support mental health and wellbeing.
