Concert for Parents and Carers – with Emma Black and Music in Hospitals & Care

February 28, 2022 @ 11:30 am - 1:30 pm

| Free

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

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

The session will be provided free of charge and will include a light lunch & refreshments.

How to book

Booking is essential.

In order to minimise Covid risk, we will limit the attendee numbers to less than the maximum room capacity.

Our Musicians

Our guest performer for the day will be singer-guitarist Emma Black.

Emma has a beautiful voice and sings a mixture of familiar numbers such as “Three Little Birds” (Bob Marley), “Country Roads” (Dolly Parton), “Yellow” (Coldplay) and Oasis. She is very flexible and approachable, and is happy to take requests.

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.
