The funding will be used by the project to engage with 14-25 year olds who are experiencing disadvantage and struggle with traditional routes for education and employment. The project intends to develop its community music hub which includes a music studio and rehearsal studio. The funding will allow for one-to-one mentoring weekly 'operational workshops' regular studio sessions live shows and events and a live tour with other local youth organisations. The funding will allow the studio to be operational and COVID secure with cleaning and social distancing policies. It has also allowed for virtual sessions to continue so that young people do not go without mentoring support during lockdowns.
