Day care is also provided and people can get involved in the charity`s projects Being Heard is a music and work based project which aims to support people in learning the theory of music and how to compose and arrange music pieces. Our music group also gains vocal and instrument tuition. Our musicians and singers gain fulfilment by being active performers and by performing music shows at local venues.
