Mavis has written to the leader of the council - again:
To Councillor Keith Wakefield
Leader of
Leeds City Council.
Dear
Councillor Wakefield
I am writing
as Vice President of YAMSEN and as coordinator of YAM (YAMSEN Adult Music)
Activities hoping that you are aware how vital decisions that you are to make
in the Council meeting this week are to our Association.
We are a voluntary Charity working with
youngsters and adults to promote opportunities for our Special People to
develop confidence, competence and experience new ideas through Music and the
Arts.
Each Friday morning
we have over 60 people with Learning
Disabilities plus
approx. 40 support workers and volunteers attending our Workshops and Choir
rehearsals.
We are using
West Park United Reform Church and completely fill the church –there is no room
for visitors or friends who want to come and share the work and we are limited
to which activities we can offer because our equipment is spread all over the
city.
We really
are desperate to have the storage space and access to a large room under one
roof so that our special people have the opportunity to continue with their
music making and confidence and
competence. They find it very difficult to understand why we are not able to be
planning to move back to a building which has become home to them and frankly
YAMSEN members feel very much the same way. We are a dedicated team who want to
be allowed to continue the work which the City of Leeds have recognised time
and time again over the years.
