As a small charity we rely upon donations from generous individuals, trusts and companies to support our work with children and young people across London.
Research into working in challenging circumstances
In 2012, Sound Connections drew together music making experts working with children and young people in challenging circumstances (CCC) to establish the CCC Network. As part of this, we commissioned research from Jim Cartwright to identify the key skills and qualities needed to be a music leader working with children and young people in challenging circumstances (CCC), explore pathways into the sector and highlight the key challenges music leaders face when establishing a career.
The primary aim of the research was to provide Sound Connections with a strategic resource that will inform the development of the CCC Network and our approach to supporting ‘new-to-the-sector’ and established music leaders. We have now published the findings as a briefing paper.
The full report will be available to download in mid-June
