Time Spanner Projects supports musicians and artists with disablities access community events.

We support, train and promote musicians and writers with disabilities, especially those with learning disabilities. We create opportunities for our artists to perform in public by embedding our music within the community at festivals, fetes, carnivals, art centres, libraries, care homes,public celebrations and on TV and radio.

Why the community needs this charity

We entertain the public whilst promoting positive images of people with disability by putting them at the heart of community events. Our performances, DVD, and podcasts encourage diversity, tolerance, understanding and contribute to a fairer society.

Results and outcomes

Through participating in our events our members move from the margins of society and place themselves at the center of a wide range of public events and celebrations. Participant feedback shows that Time Spanner Projects enables them to experience a wide range of activities not normally available to people with disabilities, e.g. public performance, film making. It also enables them to address issues which are important to them within press, broadcasting and modern media such as You Tube.
