Finding Rhythms

We use music as a catalyst to empower people to change their lives. We do this through delivering collaborative music-making courses for those at risk of offending, in custodial and community settings. Our creative programmes use culturally relevant music industry professionals who use a people-centred approach and high production values to empower participants. Our distinctive approach develops participants' confidence, self-belief and transferable skills, preparing them for a better future in society and supporting their desistance from crime. Alongside music-making participants are supported to gain a Prince’s Trust qualification in Personal Development and Employability Skills. From the commencement of the charity in 2013 we have worked with around 1000 participants in over 30 prisons as well as probation and community settings, completing more than 100 albums of original music. Over 450 of our participants have achieved qualifications.
