We music and mentoring to help people lead meaningful lives, free from crime. The common purpose of making music creates an environment where prisoners improve self-esteem, build healthy relationships, and engage in an activity where hard work and perseverance bring rewards. These factors are major steps towards rehabilitation.
For the past 30 years, Changing Tunes has been delivering this life-changing rehabilitation across the south of England in over 15 prisons and beyond the prison gate. In 2017, Changing Tunes Midlands was established. We currently work in several prisons across the region and are engaging with community organisations and youth offending teams to develop a holistic approach to prevention and rehabilitation.
