10 Years of Loud & Clear

This report marks the 10th anniversary of Loud and Clear, Sage Gateshead’s music programme for care experienced children and their families.

Beginning by exploring the circumstances that led to the creation of the programme over a decade ago, the report goes on to outline the methodology that has underpinned the programme and examines the profound and lasting impact of Loud and Clear on those involved in it.

It features testimonies from the children, young people and families who took part in the programme; the music leaders who led the sessions; and the partner organisations who supported the programme. As well as commemorating a landmark moment, this report aims to gather the learning and practice generated by the programme and to share it for future use.
