Specific Donations

Amount	When Months	To be used for
Walcot Foundation - Cost of Living Top-Up Grant
£1,500	18/11/2022	Cost of Living Top Up Grant awarded to support small/medium-size organisations with additional costs incurred due to the cost of living crisis.
Walcot Foundation - Grooveschool Workshops
£9,990	16/06/2022	The project combines after school DJ live music production, performance, workshops and mentoring sessions for 11-19 year olds with special educational needs and disabilities, identified as disengaged ....more The project combines after school DJ live music production, performance, workshops and mentoring sessions for 11-19 year olds with special educational needs and disabilities, identified as disengaged from learning or otherwise vulnerable (the project will work with young people up to the age of 25 where there are special educational needs and disabilities) . Young people are referred to the project by social services, the NHS and local partner organisations such as Juvenis and Business Launchpad, therefore ensuring that the young people engaged have additional needs beyond being from low-income families. The Grooveschool Training Programme will provide introductory to intermediate level, 1:1 and group DJ and Music Technology classes, with each young person engaging for on average 10 weeks x 2 hours per week. There will be opportunities to engage with a mentor, gain Arts Award accreditation and enter paid employment and/or further education in a related field based on the knowledge and experience gained on the Grooveschool Training Programme. There is an expectation that young people will demonstrate improved engagement with education and will see positive improvements in mental wellbeing. The programme will be based at 3Space and has the capacity to be mobile if and when needed.
