LUU Music Impact in the Community (LUUMIC) work in and around Leeds to bring together different social groups through music workshops, projects and sessions run by our volunteers.

​

LUUMIC collaborate with a wide range of organisations such as schools, care homes and community groups, as well as working with demographics such as adults and children with physical and learning disabilities, refugee, asylum seekers and the LGBTQ+ community. We help such groups spark creativity and encourage social interactions through music, improving their confidence, language and communication skills based on informal practices of music therapy.

​

Volunteers get the opportunity to develop workshops themselves in collaboration with the committee and fellow members before taking their ideas to the community. We provide basic training in all the instruments we use in our sessions to ensure volunteers are confident to lead sessions.
