“We’ve already got 10 drums and at the moment we do a couple of songs and then pass them,” she said.
Ms Hansson said the organisation would be able to purchase five new drums through the grant.
She said the class was important because it offered a place for people to feel included.
“They form friendships at these activities and they get up and dance,” she said.
“The guys really get a lot of enjoyment out of it and they really take away a lot.”
