Beats of Morecambe Bay
Posted by Darren Leadsom on 25 February 2025
Please support our crowdfunding campaign to raise money for ‘Beats of Morecambe Bay’, which are three music projects that provide opportunities for disabled and learning disabled adults and children to make music, socialise, gain confidence and have fun.
‘Beats of Morecambe Bay’ is part of Lancashire County Council’s Spacehive crowdfunding platform. Any amount you can donate, large or small, will make a big difference because Lancashire County Council will match fund projects that have a lot of pledges from the public, meaning your £1 could become £2 at no extra cost to you.
The three projects are:
– Unique Beatz is a creative music session for disabled and learning-disabled children & young adults, delivered in partnership with Unique Kidz and Co.
– On The Beat is a musicmaking session for learning-disabled adults. The sessions provide a valuable & rare opportunity for adults who need support to actively participate in making music & socialise in a larger group in a friendly & safe space.
– Baybeat Streetband is a multi-generational community streetband, with drums, percussion & horns. It’s open to all musical abilities, from beginners to advanced, is totally inclusive for disabled people & to those aged 8-80+.
