Thank you to everyone who donated and shared our Crowdfunder! We raised a massive £10,262 because of you. We can now work together with local facilitators from WayOut Arts to deliver long-term creative music programmes with people affected by war, disabled people, street youth and Ebola survivors. Our music programmes will connect communities and help trauma recovery. The next phase of the programme can now start in October 2019.

Not only that, but we can connect young people in schools with musicians in Sierra Leone! The young people will create music together and inspire empathy for a more peaceful future for us all.

“Whenever the kids hear us making music, they start dancing and forget their stress!”

Francess, Sierra Leonian Music Facilitator
