EMPOWERING POSITIVE CHANGE THROUGH CREATING MUSIC

Supporting people impacted by prison and young people experiencing challenging circumstances, for over 30 years we’ve enabled joyful transformation through creating original music. Help us empower more individuals to tell their stories, develop skills and new confidence to enable their progression.

SITUATION

More than ever our beneficiaries need specialist support to grow in confidence and start to see themselves as we do; as people with huge amounts to offer to the wider community when their talents and skills are developed. Our work targets people impacted by prison and young people not currently in employment, education or training– some of the most marginalised and vulnerable individuals in society. With our help they can unlock their potential and move on, beginning fresh chapters.

SOLUTION

Making music can be the start of a life-changing journey for those with experience of prison and marginalised young people. Our creative music projects enable them to flourish and integrate, encouraging rehabilitation, challenging stigma, providing a platform to be heard and celebrated. We offer long-term support towards employment, education and training – last year 80% of our prison leavers successfully progressed – developing our participants as musicians, co-facilitators and ambassadors.

The Big Give Christmas Challenge runs from noon on 1st December to noon 8th December – our page is here
