OUR MISSION

Our mission is to amplify the voices of girls, women, trans, non-binary and gender non-conforming people, through music-making and community-building.

Driving Social and Gender Justice Through Music

Our programmes evidence year-on-year what we can achieve by placing equity and accessibility, underpinned by trauma-informed practices and community at the heart of music-making and the industry.

I never imagined I’d be able to get up on stage to perform something I wrote. Being part of the project has helped me believe in myself and my ideas

A collage with multiple images and text. The first image on the left is of a young person playing an electric guitar, the middle image is of three people smiling with their hands up in the air and the third image on the right is of a young person listening intently to an adult who has their back to the camera. The first text on the left side says 'It's so warm and welcoming and the music is so fun!' and the text on the top right side says 'Non-binary' and 'Be heard!'.
