About

A social enterprise for local arts and music

Future Sounds started with music projects for young people. We now bring what we have learned to whole communities.

Our story

From school projects to joined-up towns

Future Sounds began as a way to improve young people's access to music. We found that local partnerships between schools, tutors and funders could achieve more than any one of them alone.

The same is true of a town's wider creative life. Practitioners do good work, but local people, and the schools, councils and social prescribers who support them, often can't find them. We now join them up, directly and through those services, using facilitation and software we have built for the purpose.

Who we are
Future Sounds Partnerships Ltd, a social enterprise.
What we believe
Taking part in arts and music builds confidence, wellbeing and a sense of belonging, for young people and for whole communities.
How we work
Locally, in partnership, and with a clear record of what changed as a result.
