I'm Tom, a community nurse by day and a drum teacher by night. I teach drums 1:1 from my home studio, run group workshops for various local events and groups and also lead Ashford Community Drum Band CIC.
Ashford Community Drum Band CIC aims to be a creative, supportive and dynamic group to nurture local music and community. The band is open to everyone in our local community in Ashford, Kent, regardless of experience and skill level. Instruments, tuition and encouragement are all part of the band so all you need to do is be brave and contact us.
As a nurse of almost 20 years I have worked within the care system which serves people once they are unwell, however I believe a stronger focus on preventative care is required and this is not exclusively achieved by way of a medical approach. Humans need meaningful occupation and we need social support to live healthy, happy lives and I believe Ashford Community Drum Band can be part of that in our local community.
