Hello and welcome to Soundcastle! We create music with communities that increases confidence, reduces isolation and enhances wellbeing. We do this in our three home regions of East London, Bristol and along the South Coast (from Worthing to Hastings!) We run an international community of music practitioners - the Soundcastle Community - in which we host conversations, events and training. We support community music and music education organisations to embed inclusion and co-production through our training, coaching and consultancy. We are a women-led organisation, celebrating collective leadership and decision making, prioritising wellbeing and advocating for music to support mental health. - Soundcastle’s aims are: To tackle social isolation and encourage community connection by using the creative arts as a tool for social change. To celebrate each individual or organisation’s unique ideas and capabilities and empower them to turn these things into reality through coaching in creative enterprise. To advance, research, develop and share facilitation approaches adaptable to diverse social settings, where community members are at the heart of creative thinking, creative practice and creative change. Thanks for visiting us - do say hello! *Soundcastle is a registered community music charity based in the United Kingdom*
