A group of adults with mild and moderate learning disabilities formed a band after discovering they could use their love of music for a good cause.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After their most recent gig helped raise money for St Rotherham’s Hospice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The band is aptly named “The Banned” and formed at Social Eyes Rotherham – a day provision for adults with mild and moderate learning disabilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Social Eyes Rotherham is a day service for adults with learning disabilities and autism. It’s a five day provision that hosts an array of activities – from fitness and exercise classes, craft groups for bespoke gifts, visual media groups, football groups and a newsletter group. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also have the ‘Show Off’s’, which is a drama group who produce shows yearly and perform them to an audience, which Chelsea Jubb, team leader of The Banned said: “Is the most fantastic thing that we\u2019ve got running in the service.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, The Banned has been taking up most of their time lately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Banned started off as a recreational group on a Saturday morning, just jamming along and having fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Staff at Social Eyes then decided that the group had more to offer, so increased rehearsal times and added in more gigs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miss Jubb said: \u201cIt\u2019s just real good teamwork – that\u2019s what The Banned is all about. We are just having fun with friends and it just so happens that they are all really good at it.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked about the highlights of the service, Miss Jubb said: \u201cWe often joke as a staff team that you can\u2019t really call it a job because everybody enjoys it so much. You don\u2019t feel like you\u2019re working because you\u2019re having so much fun.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The COVID pandemic highlighted the importance of services like Social Eyes and activities like The Banned. Miss Jubb said: \u201cWe noticed a massive change in COVID. We had to close as a service just like so many other people on the frontline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since COVID, we\u2019ve really appreciated that social aspect, just being part of a team, being with their friends and just having fun. Mental health is obviously massively impacted. It\u2019s inclusion and being part of something.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2022, the Banned went on a Summer tour, playing six gigs in the space of a couple months and they are gearing up for another big Summer next year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With plans to collaborate with local schools and keep performing in Rotherham, it won’t be the last we see of The Banned. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
