Review of 2021-22 activity
2021/22 has been a time of significant regrowth for Liquid Listening, as both the charity and the special schools we primarily work with have started to emerge from the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic. Highlights included:
-
we trained staff at 3 SEN/D schools
-
we introduced a new delivery model of Musical Hydrotherapy residencies, working in 3 schools
-
we raised significant new project funding from Arts Council England, Ragdoll Foundation and others
-
we commissioned a new piece of underwater music from disabled composer Gwen Sion
-
we delivered our first Music Production project alongside a Musical Hydrotherapy training programme, allowing children in the pool to listen to music they had created themselves
-
we recruited our first ever Executive Director.
“One pupil said he could hear a story under the water, and that he could hear mermaids talking – so great for imagination!” Teacher, Ivy House School, Derby
