Collective Encounters is excited to announce that its youth programme will receive a huge boost over the next two years. Youth Music has granted us £29,964 to provide collaborative music-making sessions for care experienced young people aged 16-25 across Liverpool City Region.
The funding will enable us to develop the skills and musical interests of young people who have previously engaged with our school holiday ‘Arts Adventures’, as well as reaching new young people who have an interest in music-making and want to have fun while meeting other young people, gaining new skills and building confidence and independence.

It also represents an opportunity for Collective Encounters to strengthen our networks with other youth and music providers, sharing best practice in trauma-informed inclusive practice.
More information coming soon! To be kept informed, please join our mailing list.
If you work with care experienced young people who might be interested in getting involved, please contact Abi Horsfield: abi@collective-encounters.org.uk or text/call 07849 094903
This project is backed by Youth Music, thanks to the National Lottery via Arts Council England.
