The Music Works - Forest

28/08/2026

Huge thanks to The Golden Lion for partnering with us this week as part of our Holiday Programme, funded by GSW Music Hub!

Over 65 young people enjoyed fresh meals prepped by The Golden Lion kitchen throughout the week, with each young person getting to choose their own meal.

Choice and control matter to us - they help support independence and make our provision more welcoming and inclusive for everyone who comes through the door. 🎶✨
