Concert for Carers – Music in Hospitals & Care – Mat Walklate Duo

March 6, 2020 @ 9:30 am - 11:30 am

| Free

This is a relaxed concert aimed at parents and carers of children & young people with Special Educational Needs & Disabilities (SEND) in Manchester.

We know that, as carers, parents may have little or no access to live music. With the help of Music in Hospitals & Care (MiHC), we aim to create moments and memories of joy, relaxation and engagement together with the wonderful, friendly musicians and fellow parent-carers.

The session will be provided free of charge and will include nibbles & refreshments. It will also coincide with the Loud House coffee morning and there will be an opportunity to speak with other parents-carers and learn about Loud House’s sessions before/after the performance.

How to book

Booking is essential.

Please contact us ASAP to reserve your place.

Manchester Parent Carer Forum is a group of parents and carers of disabled children who work with Manchester Local Authorities, Education Settings, Health Providers and other providers to make sure the services they plan and deliver meet the needs of disabled children and young people (0-25 years), as well as their families, in Manchester.

We have a steering group of parent and carer volunteers who lead this work and listen to the views of other parents and carers in the local area to make sure they know what is important to them.
