Helping children feel supported

What charities say

The young people have absolutely loved every session you have delivered and it has been so great to see them coming out of their shells and enjoying something new!
Amy, Young Carers
We have a high number of young people with additional or alternative learning needs. Each was encouraged to participate and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Susan, Make Lunch
Our young people had a wonderful time. They loved trying out the different instruments, singing and making their band. One young person left saying it was the ‘best day ever’!
Beth, Barnardo’s
We were lucky enough to have Rocksteady for our Therapeutic Siblings Day at Shooting Star House. Sibling days can be challenging for the children and young people in our care, so the workshop run by the team was a welcome break.
Caroline, Shooting Star Children鈥檚 Hospices
Students who normally struggle with noise were engrossed in the instruments and music from the workshop. One student who normally shuts his eyes with unfamiliar noises was seen to remain fully focussed with his eyes open whilst playing each instrument.
