Music group
We ran a music group on Saturday mornings. 
​
It was a relaxed and informal session which provided accessible music workshops for young people age 10+ with learning disabilities. This is an age group that was identified by local families as having little local recreational opportunities.
Window Wanderland
We ran inclusive art workshops to produce art work for display in the windows of Boston Tea Party on Gloucester Road as part of the Window Wanderland festivals.
