"Having worked in this field for 25 years, I can confidently say that Drum 4UR Life are one of the single best examples of the potential of drumming, mental health, and peer support in the country. They have created a community of support, mentoring and exchange, and their joyful sessions are a delight to be a part of. I am so proud of what they have achieved, and cannot wait to see what the next chapter will unfold."

“This excellent initiative, organised and coordinated by Drum 4UR Life, brought together organisations and groups from all over North Ayrshire and the wonderful people they support. The event had me as a trainer working with some amazing people, who face their vulnerabilities daily, whilst witnessing them take risks they would never normally take and grow in front of your very own eyes.”

"The presentation that the Drum 4 UR Life team gave at the twentieth annual Drum Circle Facilitators Guild conference was tear jerkingly inspirational. Each member gave their personal life story as to the profound positive impact that becoming involved in Drum 4UR Life did for them and the drumming community that they served. They also attended my 2 day Intense Master Class which was only for very experienced drum circle facilitators. The Drum 4UR Life team not only met those requirements but surpassed them in so many ways. This training challenged them to the edge of their knowledge and experience. I am pleased and delighted that Jim and I had played even a small part of them facilitating human potential through rhythm based events. Life is a dance when your sharing your spirit.”

“It was a privilege to hear Jeanette Allan and the Drum 4UR Life team. They are redefining what it means to address mental health through drumming and shared powerful success stories. Their work challenges us to see mental health in a new light and inspires us to bring rhythm to our own communities.”

“The Drum Circle Facilitators Guild was honoured to have Drum 4UR Life present. This programme fosters empowerment and leadership through group drumming—where everyone has a place, and there are no mistakes. Their work is a powerful healing tool and should be part of mental health recovery worldwide.”

"Drum 4UR Life delivered a spectacularly impactful presentation. Their true heart shone through and touched us all profoundly. Tears flowed as we resonated deeply with their stories, and we continued to laugh, cry, and celebrate the transformational power of their work. They brought their A+ game—with angels. We all fell in love with them and felt inspired to rise up in our own service work.”
