Summary

To support Sing and Play Together, a programme to introduce young children and their families to high-quality music-making, build confidence, and use music to build links across generations.

Who, what, where

  • Children ages 0-3 (early years and preschool) and 4-7 (foundation stage and key stage one), and their families in the rapidly changing town of Okehampton
  • Music: traditional folk arts, song, tunes, and dances
  • Community-building, early years development, supporting families through music
  • England, South West, Okehampton

How this project supported Ragdoll Foundation aims

Sing and Play Together offers a creative response to the needs of a rapidly expanding town with a changing demographic. The application was well-researched and well-argued, and the project represents a strategic and developmental next step from Wren Music’s previous Ragdoll Foundation-supported project.
