Become an Emerging Leader 2027

Emerging Leaders is our pioneering 1-year programme, where we work alongside young Learning Disabled people aged 14+, supporting them in becoming the next generation of creative professionals, while they complete their Bronze Arts Award (or another suitable qualification).

Emerging Leaders is an opportunity to have fun and make new friends through music, while developing new skills. If you think that you, or somebody that you know, might be ready to become a Soundabout Emerging Leader, you can:

  • Join us online to ask any questions and meet previous Emerging Leaders on Tuesday 1st September, at 4.30pm.
  • Submit your Expression of Interest by the deadline to register interest on Sunday 15th September 2026.
