Arts Awards through Concept

A group of Leicestershire Children in Care have earned an Arts Award through Concept.

During the 2018 summer holidays a group of our young people took part in a short music course run by Pedestrian (you can read all about it in our blog here).  Thanks to their hard work, the young people attending the course each achieved an Arts Award through Concept and have now received their certificates.  6 young people achieved the “Discover” introductory level certificate, with 2 young people going on to gain the “Bronze” Level 1 qualification.

We want to congratulate all our young people who were involved and thank Pedestrian for their excellent work with them.
