My Pockets

My Pockets is an award winning arts organisation based in Hull and East Yorkshire. We have worked with Youth Music, Spirit of 2012, Hull 2017, BFI and the BBC.

We make films, music and art with people who have something to say but no way to say it. My Pockets is a production company lead by Peter Snelling. We work with people who have something important to say but no way to say it. The films, art and creative projects we make together give voice to powerful experiences that would otherwise go unheard.

We’ve done these drawings for a new NHS Childrens Building to make it more friendly and welcoming. We’ve heard that people request to go to the hot air ballon room, which is lovely. ✏️ 🎨😁

We met Adam when we we were at the Route One Young Carers Group and made this song with the brilliant Adam as part of our My Pockets Music Project supported by Youth Music. Adam was supported and encouraged by the equally brilliant Shane Mcmurray, our lead musician, who guided Adam in believing in his own voice and his own creativity.

We have made this song with young people from Marvel Youth Club in Hull. Everyone played instruments, wrote lyrics, recorded and shot the video with us. There was lots of messing about, lots of fun and we really love the song. Remember - DO YOUR OWN THING!!! The project is supported by the amazing Youth Music and Hull City Council
