Case Study

Music sessions in Birmingham to support young people to have a life away from violence

Free music sessions have been made available to young people either involved in or at risk of falling into violence, to boost their sense of purpose and support a reduction in violent behaviour.

The sessions are based in family hubs in the Solihull area, providing young people with tailored mentorship, skills development and confidence building. The young people are then invited to the Midlands Arts Centre’s state-of-the-art Recording Studio, giving them all the equipment they need to record and enjoy their hard work. The sessions also focus on improving their overall wellbeing, as well as employability prospects.
