Disability Programmes
We have been running a pioneering range of arts and media activities that provide opportunities for local people with learning difficulties and disabilities to take part in a broad range of creative and fun activities.

Apprentice Workshop Leader Programme
AA&M is one of the first organisation in the country to train adults with learning difficulties and disabilities to assist on singing and signing, and accessible music technology workshops. The programme was started by members of the Hands & Voices committee, who wanted to share their singing and signing skills with others, however it has been so successful that, we now have 11 members on the scheme with more being trained up all the time.
