Working with The Black Country NHS Recovery College Sandwell, we have helped to develop a 12-week online course revolving around the band STOMP for adults with experience of mental ill health.

Moseley Park and pool
2020 - (current)
Through the Coronavirus Pandemic, we’ve been working with Moseley Park to provide outdoor in-person music activities when the weather permits. We benefited from the outdoor space that the park was able to provide us whilst we were able to store some of our outdoor equipment as well as bring our members to the park some of which decided to support the park by attending events or buying keys to the park.
