Daisi Inclusive Music Programme
Since 2012 Daisi has successfully secured support from National Foundation for Youth Music. This has enabled Daisi to explore and develop sustainable, accessible and inclusive music–making opportunities for those more vulnerable and harder to reach young people across Devon and Torbay.
“It was nice to have some creative freedom enabled without a limit or restriction. There was something fresh about feeling responsible for it, feeling trusted to define your own goalposts.” – Toby, young music participant
Youth Music’s Catalyser fund 2023 – 2026 is supporting Daisi’s musical inclusion development in North Devon. Our role is to bring together and support people, places and organisations who want to bring the transformative power of music to the most in need. Our project includes;
“It takes special people to be able to engage with our pupils and build the trust required to teach them, the music sessions have shown progress for our students in their confidence, self-esteem, ability to work as a group and of course their music skills. We are extremely grateful to Daisi, especially Lyndon and Laura for their persistence, resilience, and ability to share and spread their love of music in all its forms.”
