The Sound House Consultation

Colne Youth Action Group Charity wondered if you would be happy to help us with a consultation for the future development of our music project, The Sound House.

They have been running the project for around a year and have seen some fantastic outcomes for local young people. They are now exploring funding opportunities to develop it into a community music hub, creating a professional recording studio and dedicated rehearsal space that could be accessed by young people, community groups, and local musicians.

As part of their funding applications, they need to demonstrate that there is a demand for this type of facility within our community. They would therefore like to gather feedback from local organisations, groups, and residents.

Would you be able to share the following consultation through your networks, asking anyone interested to respond directly to me?

They are keen to hear:

• Is there a need locally for a community music hub such as this?
• Would you or your organisation be interested in using or hiring the space for groups, projects, rehearsals, recordings, or individual musicians?
• Who are you, and why would a facility like this be beneficial to you or your organisation?
• What would you use the space for?

Any feedback, whether from organisations or individuals, will help them build a stronger evidence base for future funding applications and ensure the project is shaped around local need.
