Cloth Cat Studios is a not for profit social enterprise based in Inner City Leeds which aims to provide:-
a) FREE/low cost music courses and other music-based training for local people.
b) Facilities to promote people who want to be involved in music, particularly those on low incomes.
We use music training to help local people improve the quality of their lives. Through empowerment, confidence building, making music contacts, learning musical and other skills, we help our users to gain control over their lives and find avenues into employment.
We operate on a not for profit basis, so any money we do make goes towards our current activities and expanding our programme of music projects.
