Irene Taylor Trust
The Irene Taylor Trust works with some of the most vulnerable and excluded individuals in our society, inspiring them through the creation of new music. Our projects support young people experiencing challenging circumstances, former-prisoners rebuilding their lives on release, and people of all ages in prisons. Our focus is on showing our participants how much they are capable of achieving by providing high-quality, meaningful creative experiences, helping them to realise their potential, make positive life changes and develop transferable skills for the future.
The Lightbulb Trust is supporting us in an exciting collaborative project exploring how to most effectively support the artists who deliver our work. In partnership with Good Vibrations, Hear Me Out, The Institute for Community Research and Development (ICRD) at the University of Wolverhampton and Royal Northern College of Music, this ethnographic studies project will enable a framework for the design of practical Artists’ Care programmes to be developed, ultimately helping to make strategic arguments around workforce development, care and support, leadership, and impact for the wider sector, offering practical models for delivery that evidence best practice, to share widely.
