Children in Need: 'I feel free when I drum'

A drumming project in Leicester is being used to support children and young people.

Cosmopolitan Arts receives a grant from BBC Children in Need to provide arts activities in deprived areas.

Director of the project Amanda Leandro said playing percussion was "almost like meditating".

"You're just having to concentrate on the rhythm and practise," she said.
