other services

• Clubs: We have a range of clubs running throughout the week. These include rapping, guitar clubs, choirs, performing art and animation as well as clubs for children and young people with special educational needs. We are always open to suggestions for new clubs and especially welcome ideas from young people who would like to work with us and set up a club for their friends and other young people.


• Training: Get Sorted is always looking for hidden talent so we like to look at ways of training and supporting young people. We have a wide range of courses both in music and multimedia as well as a range of exams and accreditation We also offer work experience opportunities, mentoring and volunteering opportunities and welcome helpers to the project. Some of our work related opportunities are run alongside our training courses which include NCFE courses, AQA courses, Asdan courses as well as Rock School and Associated Board exams.


• Schools: We currently work with many schools in the Rotherham area delivering music and the arts. Workshops and sessions include: after school clubs, lunchtime clubs, cover for PPA time and Golden Time, themed day workshops which include recycling, multicultural days, sound, seasonal activities and topical workshops etc. Schools are welcome to bring groups to Get Sorted for other musical experiences as well as referring children and young people onto our summer schools programmes.


• Volunteering: Volunteers are welcome at Get Sorted as we are always looking for volunteers who care about young people, enjoy music and the arts and want to gain experience in the voluntary sector. For those who complete their voluntary hours, there are opportunities to stay with the project as a volunteer or train to be a mentor, session worker or in some cases an employee.


• The Shed: The learning centre, (nicknamed The Shed by the young people) plays an important part in young people's lives who need an alternative curriculum. Young people referred from schools and a range of other agencies are more able to achieve and work to their own potential as their learning is tailored to meeting their individual needs. All students work towards accredited programmes as well as being supported with their pastoral needs. The Shed (detached house) has a friendly relaxed and welcoming ethos and with the young staff, young people soon overcome their barriers to learning.
