Paradise Sounds Project Case Study

Dacorum Council For Voluntary Service

PARADISE SOUNDS – The project will build on the organisation’s current relationships with young people and their referring agencies by converting a vehicle into a mobile recording studio/training facility to take to schools, community groups, youth clubs and other charities, with a particular focus on children and young people who are facing barriers to education. The SOUNDBUS will also enable travel to specific pockets of deprivation within the locality to engage young people who would not otherwise have the opportunity to be involved in music and performing. Volunteers and sessional trainers will train them whilst a local annual charity music festival will be used to demonstrate their new talents to build their confidence. The organisation will involve young people in the decoration of the van so that it appeals to them.

This is a new and exciting area of work for the charity which is needed in the area and will provide free facilities – studio time and equipment is costly which prevents many young people/children exploring their talents.
