About this cause

Drake Music is the UK's leading organisation in music, disability and technology. We create opportunities for disabled people to learn and develop as musicians, from school through to adulthood and to do this, we use technology. Over the last twenty five years, we have provided upwards of 100,000 opportunities to increase access to music. Our activities are delivered via a great deal of partnership working, with a broad range of individuals and organisations including schools, universities, arts organisations, local authorities, music services, software and hardware developers as well as musicians, technologists, composers and artists from other disciplines. Our aim is to share our knowledge and expertise with our partners to improve access to music-making across the board.

How this cause brings people in the community together

There is no THAMES out-of-school hours music provision catering for disabled young people. The additional dimension to this project is its central commitment to creating an inclusive group of disabled and non-disabled children and young people. This is to address the isolation experienced by disabled children, and aims to improve the cohesion between local pupils of mainstream and SEN/D settings.
