Well Doncaster at HBC

Developing New skills

Massive thanks to Well Doncaster, Liz at Highfields Boxing Club, Miss Cordingley from Adwick Primary, and anyone who shared the promotion on social media.

Great effort from the group today

A successful session with parents joining in too which has been a positive feature recently. It is good for us as it shows that 90minutemusic is as much about tools for development and resilience as it is about the building blocks of Music and our relationship with technology.

Big respect to the parents for travelling from outlying villages and getting hands on.

We will be back every Wednesday for the next 5 weeks and we may have space for a couple more participants. Get in touch, book through the website https://90minutemusic.co.uk

An Invitation from the Children’s University

We are always looking for organisations and affiliations to further promote positive outcomes for young people. We met Heather Coulthard through an EXPECT Youth members meeting and she kindly asked us to support.

The CU work with partner organisations to collate different activities that young people take part in outside of school time. They receive a stamp from us on their passport and when they reach a certain number of hours, their experience is celebrated with others who have achieved the same. This gives an opportunity for young people to share their experiences and build confidence through a variety of different activities.

We are proud to add to our list of affiliated organisations such as Higher Rhythm Recording Studios, who offer opportunities for progression, EXPECT Youth and UK Youth who supported us in achieving our quality mark.

Bada-Bada-Bingo

Inspired by cult TV series the Sopranos and our ongoing journey with Dementia, this is the latest offering to help reduce social isolation.

Although much of our work is with the younger population, the personal challenges of recent years have steered us to question how we can help the elderly.

Mum has been an inspiration

After she had a recent fall I have been spending more time with my Mum, exploring different artistic endeavours. Although I felt a bit guilty for not trying it before, I was surprised just how much she was getting from it and how it supported her mental health and cognition.

Bada-Bada-Bingo Is a (hopefully) less competitive mix between Bingo and Name That Tune which we will be trialing with local groups soon.

If there are any local groups to Doncaster which are interested in smashing social isolation then feel free to get in touch.
