Sound ON
Elevator Arts CIC run the Sound ON project during the school holidays for the children living in our hostels.
This term, Sound ON will focus on superheroes, encouraging the children to discover their own unique "superpowers"—from kindness to resilience. By channelling these themes, Elevator Arts aims to develop the children’s sense of self and empowerment, allowing their imaginations to run wild. As the term progresses, these superhero themes will transition into broader ideas of transformation and personal growth, nurturing participants' emotional wellbeing and self-esteem.
Elevator Arts brings professional artists to these sessions, creating a safe and welcoming environment for all children involved. This approach not only fosters a sense of belonging but also introduces participants to new creative skills and techniques that support both their mental and emotional health. The project is gratefully funded by the National Lottery Community Fund, ensuring its continuation and success in empowering the children to find strength through creativity.
With the positive impact of previous Sound ON projects, children have told us they feel happier and more equipped to handle emotions. Parents have also observed improvements in their children’s ability to express themselves and manage feelings. These sessions have consistently shown that engaging in arts-based activities can have a transformative effect on the participants' confidence, communication skills, and overall wellbeing.
Elevator Arts' commitment to supporting the local community, particularly those experiencing homelessness or living in challenging circumstances, is at the heart of the Sound ON project. It continues to provide a vital platform for young people to express themselves, connect with others, and develop essential life skills through creative play.
"Young people experiencing homelessness are more likely to experience social isolation and anxiety plus low attainment in school. Sound ON was developed to provide regular creative activity to support the wellbeing plus communication and life skills of young people in South Essex Homes’ temporary accommodation for families." - Elevator Arts
