Æß²ÊÖ±²¥ Music are looking for students to take part in Roll Call from Wednesday 16 – Saturday 19 March to help challenge the stigma surrounding homelessness, substance abuse and mental health.
Roll Call brings together Æß²ÊÖ±²¥ students, service users from local homelessness and substance abuse recovery organisations, and supporting staff.
Led by highly skilled musicians who specialise in socially engaged arts practice, Roll Call comes together as a band and participants can re-kindle, build upon and discover their musical creativity.
This project involves four days of music making and creative writing workshops and we are looking for pro-active students to support the creative leadership team.
Students taking part can expect to:
• Experience creative practice as an aid to recovery
• Explore the role of music in tackling social isolation
• Challenge the stigma surrounding homelessness, substance abuse and mental health
• Meet new people and develop your leadership skills
• Apply your passion for music! If you love music, enjoying working with new people and are curious about the role of the arts within
You don’t have to be a highly skilled musician to be a part of this project!

Workshops will be held at the in Leicester City Centre.
