The charity continues to help hundreds of children in the city - and has just unveiled new recording studios
After benefitting from Nottingham Charity Base 51’s service, one young man has spoken out about how the charity’s new recording studios will help other young people. Now 24, Jordan Bestwood grew up in care and has been reflecting on how the charity has helped him.
He spoke about how the new recording studio will inspire young people and said: “I started off at NGY at 16, when I first came, I was immature but I was humbled by those around me. I’m now looking at the youth and seeing what we can create. The studio sessions will take place in the recording studio on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays from 5pm-8pm. The price to use the studios is available on request.
“It’ll be good for their confidence and self esteem, it’ll be where their journey starts.” Jenisha spoke about some of her main concerns recently: “Young people not having access to hot food or devices to do their homework is concerning, they may not have hot water as bills rise and that’s what we’re here for.
Stan said the studios are a “long time coming.” He added: “Young people need an outlet and to do this without funding, they’d be paying about £50 or £60 a session. I was once one of these lot, I got kicked out of school and these [the recording studio] are good not just for young people because I’m learning off of the young people all the time too.”
The charity received £7,9613.33 from the Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire Violence Reduction Unit towards opening the studios. The Nottingham Police and Crime Commissioner Caroline Henry said she was pleased to support the new recording studios.
