The Glasshouse

Loud & Clear is all about music-making, play and connection. These sessions support the musical, emotional and communication development of adopted children in their early years, while helping families build strong, joyful relationships together.

We run these sessions in partnership with Adopt North East, welcoming adoptive families with children aged 0–7, plus siblings of any age, who live in Gateshead, Newcastle, North and South Tyneside, and Northumberland.

Loud & Clear is funded through the Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund, and other charitable trusts and foundations.

Ready to book: Places are managed by Adopt North East Contact postadoptionsupport@adoptne.org.uk / 0191 643 5000

Musicians: Vanessa Ward and Ellie Gillin
