Our Community Music Projects
We provide Community Music projects for children, young people, and adults; people living in challenging circumstances; people at risk of social exclusion; people living with mental health difficulties; people living with special needs and disabilities; and older people in residential care homes.
We lead music for wellbeing programmes across Sussex and we are developing a hub of multigenerational Community Music projects within Peacehaven and the nearby surrounding areas.
We support people to explore their personal connection to making music and to experience how this can improve their wellbeing.
We provide spaces for mindful music-making, creative collaboration and a sense of belonging.
We utilise music-making to help foster a sense of connection to place, to community and to the natural environment.
Our Commitment to Community Music Sector Development
We provide support and professional development opportunities for Community Musicians and trainee music workshop leaders, as well as professionals working in community contexts who would like to build upon their use of music to improve wellbeing.
We deliver our projects in collaboration with community, voluntary and public sector organisations in order to maximise the reach of our work and to spread the impact of Community Music practice more widely.
We advocate within our professional networks, for the recognition of Community Music as a force for positive social change and a proven route to improved wellbeing.
We commit firmly to reflective practice, ongoing learning in action and to developing our offer in response to the emerging needs of the communities we serve.
