    “ Because H is severely dyslexic his experiences of formal learning have been really difficult and challenging. Jamming Station has offered a space where he can be himself and learn in his own way in a supportive non-judgemental environment. He works really well with the mentoring approach… The new space is amazing and offers a really high-quality environment which I think he values highly. “

    “ She has got so much from all of her different experiences with Jamming Station this year - the end of term gig, support with other gigs, loan of drum kit for the band, and the work experience; it’s been great for her musical development, but also for her confidence and simply for her joy in life during what has been a tricky time at school, the band has really kept her going. ”

    “ It is my son’s absolutely favourite and best thing ever and I cannot tell you how encouraging it’s been over the last few months to see how he’s engaged with it. The ONE time in the week where we don’t have to peel him off the screen/sofa and get him out the door on time. It’s given him a tribe that he’s been missing and started to build the confidence to be himself. ”
