Hello and welcome to Sounds of…  a podcast created by Drum and Brass, with the support of Arts Council England. In today’s episode we hear about plans to set up a new inclusive music project in Penrith, Cumbria, supported by the Royal Mencap Society.

During the 2023 school Summer holiday, Julie Hoggarth of Drum and Brass delivered a music workshop to some of the young people involved in a Holiday and Food project (which they call the HAF project) and Julie’s work inspired Cristina Bowman from a CIC called Diff-Ability to set up an inclusive music project in Penrith with Julie as the tutor.

We hear from Cristina in this episode, and also from Ben and Connor who are peer supporters of people with autism and who are enthusiastic about the new project.
