Music and Community:
The Heart of Our Work
Through music, we build connections, foster creativity, and promote inclusion. Our member activities and school programs are designed to empower our members and bring joy to their lives, as well as educate the community.
The Electric Umbrella team makes a difference every day by:
Empowering People:
By providing learning disabled people with opportunities to collaborate with professional musicians, we empower them to develop new skills, boost their confidence, and showcase their talents. This empowerment helps break down societal barriers and challenges perceptions.
Fostering Inclusion:
We create inclusive, interactive music experiences that bring together people of all abilities. Through performances, workshops, and community events, we fosters a sense of belonging and community, promoting acceptance and reducing prejudice.
Educational Impact:
Our School Programmes deliver specialist music experiences and workshops to both SEND and mainstream schools. These programs educate students and staff about equity, diversity, and inclusion, helping to create a more inclusive culture within schools and communities.
