WE ARE

Moving communities forward

Our Approach

We create inclusive, community-based music programs, breaking financial barriers for all ages in deprived areas. We promote positive change by addressing isolation, loss, and health conditions through shared music learning experiences.

Community Centric-Programs

We host accessible music programs at local venues, using music to build community connections and prevent isolation and mental health issues. Our supportive environment encourages individuals and groups to master instruments, creating a sense of accomplishment and purpose.

Addressing Mental Health Challenges

We address mental health challenges by using music to reduce reliance on NHS services, offering a proactive solution for the community’s social and emotional well-being. We aim to create a harmonious future by meeting these needs through our innovative approach.

Future Steps Stories

The sessions themselves have had a tremendously positive effect on my mental health over lockdown and beforehand. Simply being able to talk to someone about this music stuff and just having a bit of a chat every week has been great. It’s nice to be able to focus on something fairly technical like music practice and be able to hear the results that take me out of myself and distract me from the struggles that we all feel every single day.

I do enjoy the lessons because it gives you a feeling of achieving something and it’s always nice to be able to knock a tune out. I think it’s very positive thing having a lesson and learning how to play the guitar and extremely important for mental well-being.

It's just great to have that person to say "how's your week been", "what's going on", and for you to be really honest. It's been amazing.

It has been a privilege to have guitar lessons with Future Steps. This has been a positive impact on my mental health and wellbeing. I will continue to play guitar as a hobby as I feel I made huge progress over the 3 months.

H.O.P.E in Community – Junk Music

Our Junk Music project for children aged 3 to 15 was a resounding success, the children creatively transformed recycled materials, offcuts of wood, and old tins into a delightful array of homemade musical instruments. The initiative not only showcased environmental responsibility by repurposing waste but also provided an engaging and educational experience for the participating children. The joy and enthusiasm expressed by the young participants underscored the project’s effectiveness in fostering a love for music and sustainable practices. Due to its overwhelming popularity and positive impact, our team has been invited to run these sessions annually, ensuring a continued celebration of creativity, eco-consciousness, and musical exploration for generations to come.

Let’s work together towards a positive future
