Our MAP volunteers team had the best weekend Deer Shed Festival ! We are so grateful for the opportunity to raise vital funds for our charity, and we had lots of fun doing it! 🎨

Deer Shed is the most gorgeous of festivals. 🌈 We were lucky enough to see some incredible bands, and get creative with some workshops too (knife whittling anyone?!). Some of us even managed a wild swim to blow away the cobwebs. 🕸️🕸️

🌞☘️Thank you to our incredible volunteers, to everyone who donated, chatted to us about our work, and generally made sure we had a brilliant weekend. ☘️🌞

Here’s some pictures of the record players/needles getting used at a sampling workshop run by BOSSdaddy & Sangria Kong in the Cosmic Slop, Leeds. studio & them in use at the record fair that happens in every 2nd Thursday of the month⭐️

Donations like this make a massive difference to us being able to deliver unique workshops, teaching techniques that our students wouldn’t be able to access in mainstream education.

We’ve had a lovely afternoon at our Summer Exhibition 🌟

It has been so wonderful seeing our young people celebrating their achievements and proudly showcasing their incredible artwork, digital media and creative projects. The talent, resilience, and progress on display is so inspiring to see!

A real highlight was seeing young people hear the tracks they’ve produced play on our world class sound system. Such an incredible moment 🚀

Huge thank you to everyone who came along to support our learners and help make the day so special.

🌟 We are incredibly proud of everything our young people have achieved this year!!🌟
