FACILITIES AND ACTIVITIES
Livewire is staffed by highly trained and qualified Youth Workers, Volunteers and a team of professional musicians.
We have music rooms, recording studios, a rehearsal studio and a 250 capacity performing arts venue (Live Music Venue). We also provide a coffee bar with food and drink facilities, pool table and two PS3s offering RockBand, Guitar Hero 3 and Singstar. There are also computers and free internet access.
Livewire provides young people with free and open access to music lessons, guitar, bass, vocal, drums and DJ’ing. In addition we teach studio recording and live sound skills, event lighting, modern (street) dance and drama. Livewire also works with young bands and musicians helping them to develop musically and socially.
Livewire also provides one-to-one support for young people, sexual health and drug advice, free condoms and Chlamydia screening. We also offer young people the opportunity to gain various forms of accreditation, including Arts Awards, Music Awards, Volunteering Awards and ASDAN Activity and COPE 1,2 and 3 Awards plus others.
We provide opportunities for young people to develop skills as volunteers and peer educators and musicians.
Livewire also works one-to-one with young people referred to us by Connexions, Social Care and other agencies.
Livewire really is a partnership between the youth work/music team and the young people.
