FUNDED & PARTNERSHIP PROJECTS

Inclusive, hands-on sessions in schools, community settings, and our two South London studios. Ages 8–19 (up to 25 with SEND), plus community/adult groups.

Funded & Partnership Projects

Grooveschool collaborates with schools, local authorities, charities and industry partners to deliver funded creative mentoring projects that widen access and respond to community need.

These projects allow us to reach young people who may not otherwise be able to access structured creative provision.

How Partnership Projects Work

Funded projects are typically developed in partnership with:

– Schools and education providers
– Local authorities
– Community organisations
– Arts and culture funders
– Corporate and industry partners

Projects may focus on:

– Targeted intervention groups
– SEND-focused programmes
– Youth wellbeing initiatives
– Alternative provision pilots
– Community-based creative programmes
– Short-term funded mentoring blocks

Each project maintains the same structured, relationship-led approach that underpins all Grooveschool delivery.

Podcasting & Radio Programmes

Participants develop:

– Planning and scripting
– Interview technique
– Microphone technique
– Recording and editing
– Publishing and safe digital practice

Programmes support communication skills, storytelling, teamwork and media literacy.

Mentoring & Re-engagement

For young people at risk of exclusion or disengagement, we provide consistent, relationship-based creative mentoring.

Delivery includes:

– Flexible timetabling
– Quiet or sensory-aware setups

The focus is rebuilding confidence, communication and positive engagement through creative practice.
