In December 2023, the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama (RWCMD) launched its Woolcott Residency Programme with the twin aims of widening inclusion and keeping the arts in the heart of communities.
The initiative supports student collaborations with public venues. Since its inception, these have included partnerships between the Bute Quartet and Cardiff Bay's Norwegian Church; recent RWCMD alumni and Penarth Pavilion; and RWCMD guitar students with the cycling charity Pedal Power.
Pedal Power is dedicated to making cycling accessible to everyone, particularly those with physical and neurological disabilities. With a thriving partnership now established between the charity and RWCMD's guitar department, students play weekly at Pedal Power's café in Cardiff 's Bute Park.
