The ability to reach beyond through music creation is a massive and treasured gift that CLS bring. The progression of the whole project over time is magnificent: it unfolds and develops continually. Long may it continue.

Who we work with
Sound Young Minds works with young people in psychiatric hospitals, where there is a clear need for creative engagement. Participants direct the focus of the programme through carefully led consultations throughout the year ensuring that youth voice is at the core of our work. All project sessions are participant-led, with the young people working alongside our artists and steering the direction of the workshop.
