Company activities and impact

Hermit is a youth focused organisation that supports young people through music. We help support, develop and mentor young people through music activities which include one-to-one lessons, groups sessions and specialist workshops. We have the use of a dedicated safe space in Brentwood for local young people ages 10-19 and the surrounding areas (though also attract young people from across Essex) that offers a platform for young people to perform, build confidence, learn new skills and build friendships. We organise a weekly free to access 'music club' whereby young people can perform music in a safe and friendly environment, meet new people, build confidence and gain experience. Our sessions also include one dedicated to the home educated community. We delivered training to young people in other areas of the music industry, such as sound engineering and ran a weekly creative drop-in session in partnership with Essex Youth Service. We continued a partnership with a local secondary school, Beckets Keys, to deliver a series of development sessions for their pupils. We continued to work with the Essex Music Development Agency and through funding support was able to off several free to access workshops.

Consultation with stakeholders

The company has three pro-active directors, but the club is run by young volunteers from the local community who help shape the programme of activities we deliver. Our stakeholders are volunteers, students, parents and event attendees. We consult our volunteers on a weekly basis as part of our ongoing development. We have also developed an adult volunteer group that is made up for parents to further support our work. We continue to have dialogue with all parents that plays a key role when reviewing our activities and acts to reassure parents that we are a safe environment for young people.
