Electric Umbrella: Where Music Unites People and
Creates a More Inclusive Society
Electric Umbrella is an award-winning charity that believes there is no such thing as normal.
For more than 12 years, we've been using music to challenge perceptions, celebrate difference and create communities where everyone belongs. Our learning disabled members don't simply participate in our work - they lead it, changing the way society thinks about learning disability through music, creativity and shared experiences.
More about Electric Umbrella
Together, we've reached hundreds of thousands of children, families, teachers, healthcare professionals and communities, proving that when learning disabled people are given the opportunity to shine, everybody benefits.
Someone recently asked us whether Electric Umbrella is trying to do for inclusion what Pay It Forward did for generosity.
We think that's exactly it.
We're trying to make inclusion contagious.
Questions?
We'd love to hear from you.
Please contact us at run@electricumbrella.org.uk and one of the team will be happy to help.
How your support could help us:
The money you raise helps us spread that movement further and faster.
It helps us create and release original music that challenges perceptions and starts important conversations.
It helps us develop projects like Little Brollies, ensuring children grow up seeing difference represented, celebrated and understood from the earliest years.
It helps us create free resources for schools, helping children learn that there really is no such thing as normal.
It helps us work with hospitals, businesses and communities to create places where people feel welcomed rather than tolerated, valued rather than accommodated.
Most importantly, it creates opportunities for learning disabled people to lead this change themselves.
Because inclusion doesn't happen through policies alone.
It happens through people.
