Welcome!

Forest of Dean Music Makers has now merged with Gloucestershire Music Forum to create “Gloucestershire Music Makers” 

We have been working together on projects for the last 18 months and are confident that this will give a secure future for the work in Forest of Dean and in other parts of Gloucestershire.  We are developing a new web site at glosmm.org.uk

We are actively seeking new Directors, particularly people with finance experience or  people  from Stroud, Cheltenham, Dursley and Cotswold areas of Gloucestershire. Contact Mark Bick if you are interested. mark@markbick.co.uk  or 01594 836418

After School Club We have now secured sufficient funding to re-start Thursday secondary after school club at SoundSpace for at least a couple of terms.  Thanks to Co-op, The Youth Activities Fund (run by Forest Youth Forum) and to individual donations. 

 We still need funds to help secure a longer term future for After School club and SoundSpace.
