Project: Sound Base
Mission: To offer innovative music and art opportunities to disaffected young people
Funding: £256,000 from Futurebuilders
The Hertfordshire-based charity Sound Base offers disadvantaged young people the chance to take part in music and art programmes.
Most young people are referred to the projects by Hertfordshire Youth Offending Team and are given the chance to take part in music workshops and graphic design lessons. Some people are referred through Connexions and others self-refer to the scheme.
The project aims to help young people with their "soft skills" such as punctuality and appearance, but also teach them skills in music and video production. This can empower young people aged 11 to 19 to develop their responsibility and professional ambitions.
