Short and Long Term Goal Setting
Through the amazing support of the local charity Opera Luna, we have been able to offer primary schools we work with free band / ensemble lessons for children with SEN.
This is an amazing opportunity for us and for our schools and something I've wanted to be able to do for a long time. It's with the partnership of this fantastic charity that we are now in a position to offer this.
In year 1 - 2026-2027 - children will receive 10 group lessons over a term and then perform the song they have learnt for the school.
In year 2, we will work even closer with specific schools and these lessons will then be over the entire academic year.
If you wish to support this in any way, or wish to be involved, please get in touch.
Goffen Music Schools' Bursary
For the first time, we will be offering a bursary this year. We will be raising money for this through non-profit events such as our Summer Performance and Christmas School Event by simply charging small fee to attend. This will be offered at our discretion with discussions with schools to ensure it is used in the most effective way possible.
General Bursaries
These are available through the schools with Gloucestershire, Swindon and Wiltshire Music Hub (GSW). They are available for families in receipt of free school meals - please approach your school directly about these.
Other Opportunities
We are always looking for new and exciting opportunities. If you are aware of any other charities that we could work with, or you are looking to raise money yourself, please do get in touch.
