Hear My Voice Project
Worcestershire Early Music gratefully received funding recently from the Eveson Trust to buy new instruments for the ongoing work in daycare centres in Worcester and Droitwich. Our sessions are much appreciated by the young adults with complex needs who attend Spectrum Days and the Myriad Centre, and these specialist instruments have greatly enhanced their experience.
