And the great news is, Inspire Works have now been able to expand their online offering thanks to funding from the Arts Council England COVID-19 Emergency Response Fund.

They will now be running a daily world-music workshop at 2:00 pm each weekday, for early years to key stage three students. You can find out more about their interactive YouTube workshops here.

They will also be running HealthRHYTHMS Workshops for adults from 2 June onwards. These workshops have been proven to reduce stress, boost the immune system and improve the mood and creativity. Find out more and sign up on Inspire Works’ website.
