Changing Tunes
Changing Tunes helps prisoners and ex-prisoners to lead crime-free lives that are meaningful and creative. They do this by delivering long-term, trauma-informed, person-centred music programmes, in secure children’s homes, prisons and post-release.
Our sessions are tailored to the needs, interests and potential of each participant. Their Musicians-in-Residence support participants to develop their artistic voices and to build human and social capital that is proven to support lasting desistance from crime. Their participants have faced disadvantage and trauma, factors that significantly increase the likelihood of ending up in the criminal justice system.
By partnering with The Lightbulb Trust, Changing Tunes will grow their work with vulnerable young people in Young Offender Institutions and Secure Children’s Homes and for the first time, they will be able to move ‘upstream’ by working in Pupil Referral Units too. Through this work, both organisations hope to improve outcomes for young people who’ve faced complex disadvantages and trauma, nurturing and celebrating their individual potential through the power of music-making.
