What to expect this term
The year is already whizzing ahead - we can’t believe we’re into another term already!
Here’s what we have to look forward to:
Mondays see our fabulous Senior IMPs kicking off the week with a barrel of fun. They'll be meeting every Monday at 6-7.30pm at Acomb Methodist Church 'til the Easter break. Come join us for some musical merriment! Sessions are for disabled and non-disabled young people aged 11+ who love making music. Find out more here. ⠀
On Wednesdays, catch the Movers and Shakers gang. They'll be bopping along to the theme of the week at New Earswick Folk Hall from 1.45 - 3pm. These sessions are for learning-disabled adults who love to make music, sing, dance and have fun with friends – old and new! For more information, head here.
You’ll find our lovely Hands & Voices crew singing and signing with Anna and Hannah on Zoom every Thursday from 7-8.30pm. Each session, the choir work together to sing and sign a new song. If you’ve caught us busking recently, you’ll know how much fun they have together. More information can be found here.
Our iMUSE for Wellbeing programme continues to run every Wednesday at The Raylor Centre. These 1:1 therapeutic multi-sensory sessions are personalised to each individual participant. Sessions are for anyone aged 18 and over and last 30 minutes. If you're interested in knowing more, or would like to book a session, head here.
We'll also be back making beats with the Junior IMPs at Westfield Primary School, an after school club for Westfield pupils. We always have a lot of musical fun at these sessions, and we’re excited to see where it takes us this term! To find out what we typically get up to, click here.
Our iMUSE sessions at SELFA will be returning on Sunday 27th March. These 1:1 sensory sessions are for disabled children and young people from the Skipton area. If you want to know more about what SELFA offer, click here. And if you want to know more about our iMUSE for young people programme, head here for more info.
Update
You may remember us saying that we were excited about being face-to-face for all of our sessions from the start of the year.
We were hoping to trial our new hybrid model for Hands & Voices in January. This is where we have some people face to face, and others can join in over zoom. Sadly, COVID-19 had other ideas and we didn’t think it was safe enough to get the whole choir in a space together. We’re still planning to go ahead with the hybrid model, and we really hope that after Easter it will be safe enough for everyone in Hands & Voices to sing together again. So watch this space!
