Company activities and impact

During the financial year, the organisation delivered an extensive programme of community-based music workshops and creative development initiatives across Greater Manchester. Its work focused on engaging both adults and young people through inclusive, accessible activities, with a particular specialism in electronic music, music engagement, and therapeutic interventions. The organisation continues to use music as a powerful tool to support wellbeing, raise aspiration, and create meaningful pathways into the creative industries. A key area of impact has been the delivery of targeted wellbeing support through music. The Sounds Good sessions in Bolton worked with 50 adults experiencing mental health challenges over a 12-month period. These sessions provided a safe, supportive environment where participants could engage in regular music-making, helping to reduce isolation, improve emotional wellbeing, and build confidence. Through consistent engagement, participants developed musical skills and creative expression while also benefiting from peer support and structured therapeutic activity. Many individuals reported increased self-esteem, improved routine, and a renewed sense of purpose and aspiration. The Sound Fix programme extended the organisation’s reach across Greater Manchester, engaging over 200 participants through instrument repair and restoration workshops. This project not only improved access to musical instruments but also provided hands-on, work-based skills development. Participants gained practical knowledge in maintaining and restoring equipment, alongside opportunities to explore music-making. This dual approach supported both musical skill development and transferable skills such as problem-solving, teamwork, and responsibility, contributing to increased confidence and a sense of achievement. The organisation also delivered large-scale public engagement activity at Kendal Calling festival through the Kids Calling programme, reaching up to 1,000 participants. These sessions introduced children and families to interactive drumming and music-making, encouraging creativity, participation, and early-stage musical development. This work played an important role in raising aspiration and widening access to music, particularly for those who may not otherwise engage in creative activities. A significant strand of activity was the Futures Project, an inclusive development programme supporting 16–25 year olds to take their next steps into the creative industries. The programme combined mentoring, workshops, and real-world opportunities to build work-based skills, leadership skills, and industry awareness. Participants developed competencies in performance, production, event management, and creative media, while also gaining direct experience through activities such as interviewing artists at major festivals, volunteering at events, attending workshops, and producing creative content including photography. The impact of the Futures Project has been particularly strong in raising aspiration and supporting progression. Young people were given access to environments and opportunities that are often difficult to reach, helping them to build confidence, expand their networks, and better understand career pathways. Through structured support and mentoring, participants strengthened both their musical development and their employability skills, including communication, teamwork, initiative, and leadership. Overall, the organisation has delivered significant social and creative impact across the region. Its work has improved wellbeing through sustained engagement and therapeutic support, increased confidence and aspiration among participants, and provided meaningful opportunities to develop musical, creative, and work-based skills. By creating inclusive and supportive spaces, the organisation continues to empower individuals, strengthen communities, and nurture the next generation of creative talent across Greater Manchester.

Consultation with stakeholders

The company’s key stakeholders include programme participants (adults and young people), local communities across Greater Manchester, delivery partners, funders, freelance artists and facilitators, and, where relevant, families and carers. Stakeholders are consulted through a combination of participant feedback forms, session evaluations, informal discussions, and regular check-ins within programmes. Ongoing dialogue with partners, facilitators, and funders also helps identify emerging needs and areas for improvement. Feedback has directly shaped the organisation’s delivery. For example, participant input has led to a stronger focus on wellbeing support and more flexible, participant-led sessions. Young people involved in the Futures Project highlighted the need for more real-world experience, resulting in expanded opportunities such as live event access, volunteering, and mentoring. Feedback from communities and partners has also informed efforts to improve accessibility, including delivering free or low-cost workshops in local settings. Overall, stakeholder consultation is embedded in the organisation’s approach, ensuring that its activities remain responsive, inclusive, and impactful.

Directors' remuneration

£28,200 was paid between 2 directors for them to contribute to the projects as music facilitators
