Make Some Noise’s vision is that the lives of children and young people in Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent will be significantly enhanced by high quality opportunities to make music. Make Some Noise believes music inspires young people, and for many is also a catalyst for positive change. We explore innovative approaches that work towards better access to music for young people.
Since 2001 we have engaged with over 50,000 Children, Young People and Families on strategic and participatory programmes primarily in Staffordshire and Stoke, but also regionally and nationally. Over those years we have successfully delivered music projects as an alternative provision and have a strong reputation for successful working with over 100 partners.
Make Some Noise develops positive activities and inclusive interventions featuring specialist musicians to work in a wide range of settings for example with babies & toddlers, with challenging or excluded young people, young carers, with families, in schools or theatres, in youth or community venues. Make Some Noise has found that participation in our activities has positive impacts on the most disengaged or isolated young people.
