Sing Our Story is our Flagship Songwriting programme designed to support the wellbeing and confidence of children and young people through involving their whole family in a unique creative process.
Working with the parents and carers alongside their children musicians work with families through a three-stage process to co-write and record special songs based on the child’s unique story, interests, and identity.
Children who take part grow in language skills, communication, confidence and emotional expression. We also give teachers practical tools for inclusive music‑making through tailored training opportunities and this project builds stronger connections between schools and families.
Alongside schools and nursery settings we also have a range of partnerships and tailor the offer for specific groups. This includes work with disabled children, Portage services, Young Lives Vs Cancer, and virtual schools and services supporting care experienced children. Recently the programme has expanded to work with secondary aged young people in Special Needs and Alternative provision.
Our team of experienced songwriters has created original personalised songs with more than 3,000 children and families across London and in Galway Ireland. We have also worked with other partner organisations to pilot the project in the North East and the South West of England.
