Making Tracks and our linked progression projects have been designed to inspire, engage and empower young people to aspire and achieve via creating original music. The young people we reach are usually aged 16-25, facing barriers from not being in education, employment or training, and/or on a community sentence/prevention programme run a Youth Offending Service. Many will be experiencing challenging circumstances and be in need of support to increase their self-confidence and transferable skills. As well as enhancing their creativity, we guide their future progression.

Following a pilot in 2011, Making Tracks was first established in South London in 2012; we have continually revised the shape of the programme reflecting the feedback from the young people taking part, over 57 projects to date, and have expanded delivery from London to also reach young people in Bristol, Kent, Manchester and Newcastle.
