READIPOP PROJECTS

Readipop’s projects form the core of our community work. They are normally targeted at specific groups of people or parts of the community that may be facing some sort of disadvantage or complex need. Our projects inspire people to do more, be better and want to share their new work and interests with people. 

We also support schools and other partners to add more music, imagination and creativity to their work. Readipop is an ARTS AWARD supporter and an accreditation centre. We support ARTSMARK and are a founder member of Reading’s CULTURAL EDUCATION PARTNERSHIP.
