Flagship programme
Positive Music Movement
Music has the power to change lives. Positive Music exists to give young people a safe, creative environment where they can express themselves, build confidence, and develop real opportunities for the future.
What it is
A safe place to create, and a real route forward
Through professional studio sessions, mentoring, and music production, participants learn how to turn their creativity into something positive while exploring legitimate pathways into the music and creative industries.
Every session is designed to encourage personal growth, teamwork, communication, and resilience. Whether a young person is writing their first song, recording in a professional studio, or learning the business behind the music, Positive Music provides the support, guidance, and inspiration needed to help them move forward.
By investing in Positive Music, you’re helping create safer communities, empowering young people to make positive choices, and opening doors to skills, confidence, and opportunities that can last a lifetime.

Inside the programme
From the first bar to the finished release
We take young people who need guidance into the music studio, help them record their audio, help them record their videos, then get that work in front of an audience through our distribution channels, right across the United Kingdom.
Trap, drill, rap, emo, hip hop and grime have given talented young people a way to express themselves, rather than act out what they imagine, which has proved fatal in many cases. Many come from hardship and have no platform, which leaves them vulnerable and to their own devices. Positive Music gives them that platform, through art, sport and entertainment.
It is a freedom of speech advocacy movement too: celebrating modern British heritage while carrying forward an older British idea, made famous by the likes of Speakers’ Corner at Hyde Park.
