 Vic Studios is a music project designed to offer local musicians affordable rehearsal, recording and tuition services. The lottery funding we received last year has enabled us to reach more people than ever before because we've been able to provide free activities for young people who wouldn't usually have access to our facilities. We also use some of the money to buy new equipment such as turntables, amplifiers and drum equipment. I've been coming to the Vic for over 10 years now. I was 15 when I first started in bands. I moved away out of the area for a bit of time. I came back practicing here again and it's even better now. Especially for bands like ourselves who are getting on the go like and just want to practice somewhere, somewhere that they ain't going to do people's editing. I think the football speaks for itself since opening in 2016. We've had in excess of 7,000 visits. It's a vital cog in the local music machine and then on top of that you've got all the educational opportunities that we offer people and that goes towards enriching their lives and increasing the impact that we're able to deliver as a social enterprise.
