Pedestrian Music Course - Day 2

Shay started us all off with a warm up, playing a game he named Jelly Wobbly Circle to get everyone moving and shake off that last bit of sleepiness.

Then we used the morning to work on our ASDAN and Arts Awards scrapbooks by doing some research on our artist influences and a bit of mood-boarding. The aims were to research how this artist would have, or has inspired the track, as well as music making for the week. 

All throughout the day we were working on the lyrics for our tracks, playing with words and sentences to get our take on the concept theme down ready to record tomorrow!

Leicestershire Matters

We held workshops across Leicestershire schools to hear about young people's priorities within their local areas to support community health and wellbeing.

The HDRC Leicestershire Research to Reality training series concluded a successful year in September with 94 attendees across the four-session series.

We have filled the final spot on our Public Advisory Group (PAG), forming a diverse panel of eight members. This is an important step towards ensuring our work is informed by a broad range of public voices and lived experiences.

Young people in three Leicestershire schools will have the opportunity to have their say in the future of health research and meet a Great British Bake Off star as part of a new project.

Health Determinants Research Collaboration (HDRC) Leicestershire hosted its first event with members of the public in March 2025.

We're introducing a series of learning sessions to help improve research skills.
