In our work we address inequality, injustice, financial and social barriers and lack of provision, skills and opportunities within the educational sector – all of which prevent children and young people with multiple and complex disabilities and special needs from accessing music making that is vital and, in many cases, transformational to their development. Our students come from disadvantaged backgrounds and are extremely vulnerable and isolated. Our projects are based in London, the Midlands and North of England. We work with over 1200 direct beneficiaries each year on weekly basis during term time. On average, each individual is involved over four to six years, some for 10 years and more. Our programmes currently comprise:-    Running choirs weekly in 10 special needs schools in Birmingham, Warwickshire and Cambridge.-    Weekly classroom music sessions and 1:1 instrumental lessons in 6 schools for Deaf children in 5 London Boroughs and Hertfordshire-    Individual music lessons in London, Birmingham and Liverpool for over 100 students-    Performing opportunities in conjunction with our partner organisations-    Work experience opportunities for young musicians with disabilities-    Training for musicians in working with children with special needs (including project at the Royal College of Music, starting the 2nd year course) Our charity has been delivering expert music services to some of the most disadvantaged children with complex needs and disabilities since 2003. Over the years, through ongoing weekly work in special schools and provision of individual lessons, through consultation with experts, teachers at schools, parents and students, through feedback and evaluation, we have been constantly evolving, and our programmes are uniquely tailored and fully accessible to every student we work with, whatever end of the ability spectrum they are at. Our most recent evaluation round demonstrates outstanding levels of engagement in students who are within most hard-to-engage groups, including pre-verbal children and those with challenging behaviours.
