Situation
We want to address the unprecedented deterioration of young Londoners’ well-being as a result of the pandemic. Poor well-being and mental health are issues that already disproportionately affect the group that we work with (young women and trans youth aged 11-16). These have been compounded by serious additional challenges including: - school closures leading to learning loss - being stuck in difficult home environments - limited opportunities for social contact - digital exclusion - grief
Solution
Child psychologists have stated that music must form a vital part of the recovery of young people from the pandemic (PlayFirstUK, February 2021). We will provide healing-centred music-making activities for young women and trans youth that emphasise creative play, positive mental health and well-being. Our programmes will support them to: - make new friends and collaborate in teams - express themselves creatively - build their resilience - grow their confidence and self-esteem - have fun!
