Collaborative Songwriting

Collaborative songwriting is inclusive and develops a whole range of skills and attributes which benefit all children. We run an annual Songwriting Competition and work in schools delivering songwriting. We are currently running a 2-year SongSeeds project with the support of the Youth Music Charity, Hastings Borough Council and Hastings Lions.

 

The Chat Project

Working with Silverdale Primary Academy we are piloting a volunteer support programme in the playground. Time to chat develops speech and language skills.

Community training

In 2019 we started providing high quality training for people who work in the community with children. Our aim is to support people to include all children in their sessions and be able to respond confidently to challenging behaviour.

Pre School Pilot

We want to reach children at the earliest possible stages to overcome barriers to learning. With funding from the Chalk Cliff Trust and Isobel Blackman Foundation we worked with Changing Chances to pilot a whole school approach in Robsack Wood Preschool, training staff and parents.
