Apprentices

We are committed to creating opportunities for young people. We support early career development through training within our community project for young people who wish to learn how to facilitate creative wellbeing activities for people with complex support needs.

‘Because i have lived experience of mental health challenges i feel i can see where the young people need support, where they are coming from. I can relate to how they might be feeling. I like to help people have a go at playing music’

Junior apprentices

We work with young people under the age of eighteen, helping them to learn new musical skills and workshop facilitation techniques. They work alongside experienced music facilitators and are supported to take their first steps into workshop facilitation. Practical sessions are supplemented with planning and review meetings giving young people the opportunity to explore topics that interest them in early stages of facilitation practice

‘I think it has improved my confidence in talking to the children and their parents, as I have done so both before the sessions start and during if there was a part I was leading’

Young apprentice

‘As a parent I am grateful for the learning experiences this opportunity provides especially as I have noticed that it seems to be increasingly harder for young people to gain meaningful work experience’
