Hi, I'm Beth

 

I’ve been volunteering with Carousel since April 2023 and it has become a real highlight of my week! Spending time and making music with such amazing adults is a real privilege and brings so much joy.

 

I’ve always been passionate about music and I learned to play the flute and Spanish Guitar from quite a young age. I studied Music at the Birmingham Conservatoire. I love being able to use my flute in some of the sessions.   I have grown so much since I started at Carousel and I'm now facilitating sessions and running Music, Arts & Crafts for adults with learning needs.

 

Volunteering with Carousel has been life-changing for me.  It has really helped to build up my confidence and communication.  I’m also enjoying learning new skills like Makaton and graphic design.

​

Seeing the impact that music and creativity is having on so many people in such a positive way is heart-warming.
