Pedestrian

Pedestrian is an award winning arts and education charity specialising in music and arts education based in the heart of Leicester’s bustling city centre. Since 1998, we have built a strong track record of delivering high quality creative activity that has seen us complete over 15,500 workshops. We provide education, training and outreach projects for young people at risk, vulnerable adults and communities in Leicester, Leicestershire and across the Midlands. Our participants are often socially excluded, not in education, employment or training (NEET) or experiencing disadvantage. We believe that with the right levels of support and timely intervention everyone can achieve their goals, we call this ‘Pioneering Potential’. We have three main areas of work: ** Alternative Education Provision (AEP) ** Early Intervention & Outreach ** Progression & Training Creativity is a key part of our lives, at Pedestrian we offer the chance for everyone to explore this through music, dance, photography, street art, etc regardless of who they are and where they come from. We aim for our programmes and projects to have a long lasting social and personal impact for people and communities. As a small charity, we rely on public funding, donations and income from our programme to enable us to support some of the most vulnerable people in our community.
