List of activities

We co-delivered a field project with Local Trainer, Eshwari Rapola (ARMS Centre for Autism) to enable staff working with adults with learning disabilities to use music within their activities at the Vivaan Centre in Moinabad.

The tailored support we offer was pulled together and enhanced under the banner of our new “Motivation Programme”, guided by our Sustainability Review findings from 2018. This comprised CPD events for practitioners to come together share successes, pool resources and troubleshoot, a quarterly newsletter, enhanced online resources and a mechanism through which individual partners might request specific support at any time.
