Changing Tunes

We help offenders to lead crime-free lives that are meaningful and creative. We do this by running long-term music rehabilitation programmes in prisons, secure children's homes and post-release. Our programmes enact a Theory of Change, helping offenders to build the ‘human and social capital’ they need in order to desist from crime.

We run music programmes in 18 prisons in the Southwest and South of England, the Midlands and South Wales. We run post-release programmes in Bristol, Winchester and Exeter. Over the past three years, we have been developing music programmes for secure children's homes. As a result of this work, we have launched long-term programmes at Vinney Green Secure Unit, in Bristol and Hillside Secure Children’s Home, in Neath. We are preparing a new programme for Swanwick Lodge Children’s Secure Home, in Southampton.
