Ha! Tbf we are near the main village so it’s busy but far enough away from Heaton park to avoid the carnage!

Try living in Prestwich 🙈😂

Landed in my postbox yesterday and really excited to read. Your son and ours sound so similar (he is just 4) and music is so central to him. We are lucky to access a group session with Nordoff and Robbins (not always the most relaxing experience it has to be said) and for that we are grateful!

I find this so fascinating having done drama at Manchester uni myself (state educated, father in professional job but neither parents went to HE). I wonder how different the picture was back in 2001 when I started but I am conscious it was very white!

Just read and feel hopeful change might come! I drop and pick Arlen up each day and could cry. He is happy and they say he is doing ok but I wish I could feel confident his needs were met everyday and not just muddling through!
