Hoot - Invitation, Expression, Interaction, Challenge, Growth

WELCOME TO HOOT!

Hoot offers a range of opportunities for people to get involved in music, dance and other creative activities as a way of improving physical and emotional wellbeing. Based on the simple and universally understood facts that playing music and dancing brings people together and makes them feel good, we work with local groups and communities to develop creative projects that everyone can take part in.

From our base in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire we also offer studio-based and mobile song-writing, recording and music technology, video and photography sessions for individuals and small groups, as well as providing opportunities for people to work with us as volunteers to gain training and experience working in arts and health settings. With our partner agency Artists in Mind (AIM) we also deliver a range of visual arts activity and creative writing projects.

We have over eight years experience developing community arts projects across the North of England, with particular expertise working with people with mental health needs. From this base we now work with all sections of the community to promote positive health through bringing people together to build confidence, encourage creative expression and help people find their voice.

We believe that everyone has a creative capacity that can help them grow and develop, and that through supporting people to flourish as individuals and groups we can help communities and wider society to grow too.
