Dedicated to the Community
Supporting young people through creative education, mentoring, and meaningful opportunities within music and the wider creative industries.
At The Music Klub, our community projects sit at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to creating safe, inspiring, and inclusive spaces where young people can explore their creativity, build confidence, and develop the skills they need to thrive in education, employment, and life.
Working in partnership with local authorities, youth services, schools, and community organisations, we deliver high-quality music and creative arts programmes across communities in the UK. Our projects are designed to engage young people who may be at risk of disengagement, exclusion, or social isolation, offering them positive pathways through creativity and mentorship.
Through our community programmes, young people take part in activities such as music production, songwriting, performance, media creation, and wellbeing workshops. These sessions encourage self-expression, teamwork, and resilience, while also supporting literacy, communication, and emotional development. By combining creative learning with structured support, we help young people reconnect with education and rediscover their potential.
Our projects also place strong emphasis on mental health and personal wellbeing. We use music as a tool for emotional regulation, reflection, and confidence-building, helping young people to better understand themselves and navigate the challenges they may face. Every participant is supported in a way that recognises their individual needs, strengths, and aspirations.
FUTURE LEARNERS
Future Learners: Creative Pathways Through Music is a dynamic and inclusive learning programme by The Music Klub, designed to empower young people aged 11–18 who face barriers to traditional education.
The project uses music, digital arts, and creative expression as an alternative learning model to engage those who struggle with conventional academic systems. Participants will explore music production, songwriting, DJing, and sound design, developing artistic skills, emotional intelligence, teamwork, and confidence.
By recognising that young people learn in different ways, Future Learners creates space for experimentation and self-expression. It provides a canvas for partner schools, youth hubs, and community organisations to integrate creative learning into their educational settings. The programme will run over 12–18 months, involving co-designed creative workshops, mentoring, performance opportunities, and an end-of-project showcase
SOUNDBITES
Southwark’s young people, particularly those from disadvantaged and underrepresented backgrounds; face growing mental health pressures, food insecurity, and a lack of culturally relevant wellbeing opportunities.
The Music Klub’s frontline work across borough youth hubs and schools reveals a distinct pattern: the same young people using food and music as coping mechanisms are often unaware of how these choices affect their emotional and mental health.
“SoundBites” responds by exploring the link between what we listen to, what we eat, and how we feel. Through music, poetry, spoken word, and nutrition, the project empowers participants to reprogram their emotional habits, learning how to feed both body and mind positively.
The project supports Southwark’s cultural aims by championing racial equality, inclusion, and sustainability through community partnerships and life-skill learning.
VOICEBOX
VOICEBOX is a 12-month pilot programme delivered in the London Borough of Bromley, designed to support vulnerable adults and young people who face barriers to confidence, wellbeing, and employment. The project works with adults aged 18 and over experiencing social isolation, poor mental health, or low self-esteem, unpaid carers of vulnerable adults, young people aged 16+ with SEND who are transitioning into adulthood, and individuals from seldom-heard or underrepresented communities.
At its core, VOICEBOX is an innovative, music-led employability and personal development programme that helps participants discover, strengthen, and present their voices — both literally and metaphorically. Through music, spoken word, and creative media, participants learn how to express themselves confidently, communicate effectively, and develop a strong sense of professional identity.
Throughout the programme, participants engage in a wide range of creative and practical activities that support their personal and professional growth. They develop confidence through music and vocal coaching, build transferable employability skills, and gain experience in podcasting, broadcasting, public speaking, and video storytelling. Each participant is supported to create a professional Video CV and a comprehensive digital portfolio showcasing their audio, video, written, and creative work.
VOICEBOX also prepares individuals for progression into employment, volunteering, apprenticeships, or further education. Through structured workshops, work simulation projects, and career readiness sessions, participants gain real-world experience in teamwork, time management, communication, and problem-solving. Peer collaboration is encouraged throughout, helping participants build supportive networks and develop positive working relationships.
