Want to help a few young people have a better life?

Check out this video. This is one of the Sound Skool taster sessions, we've been running at our studios for young people aged between 14-18 who are not in full time education or training. This session was run in association with First Rung, an organisation committed to helping young people. The Sound School project is run by the YMCA. It provides accredited 10 week courses for young people, to help get them into education or training.



My business, Mill Hill Music Complex is a sponsor of the project (before you ask, this means I've stuck my hand in my pocket to help get it going). We've got funding for 1 year from the Youth Music fund. If you are well off and have a spare £30,000 or so, you could fund year 2 for us and change a lot of young peoples lives. If you've got a bit less, you can still help and if you've got a bit more you could help us expand the program beyond the five courses we currently run (band skills, Music Production, MCing, DJing and Vocal skills).


The group you see in the video had never been in a studio before and they wrote and recorded the track, assisted by our staff and MOBO award winner Pat Leacock in one three hour session. It is an anti knife crime song. If you can help in any  way (fund a year of the project, buy us some equipment, give us a donation, anything will be appreciated) THEN CLICK HERE TO EMAIL ME - I will put you in touch with Marcella at YMCA who administers the project. If you know of a young person aged 14-18 who would benefit from joining a course, we are now recruiting for September, so please email me. If you can help in any way at all, get in touch - I didn't start this blog to plug my business (I do that on this blog - http://millhillmusiccomplex.blogspot.com/ ) but I am very proud of the project and I wanted to share it's work with you and see if any of you can help us or we can help you.

As the Song says "Together we can make it change". Unlike many projects, we have minimal administrative overheads and most of our publicity is either free or by taster sessions. The only money we've spent advertising the project is on printing costs. It's all down to commitment and hard work
