Rhythmix is one of the UK’s leading music charities, delivering a large range of music making opportunities for young people across the South East region. Since 1999, Rhythmix has worked with more than 40,000 young people, enabling their creative activity through music and developing their personal and social skills.

Rhythmix works with its partners in Youth Support Services, such as Youth Workers, Arts Officers, Crime Reduction and Youth Offending Teams, to identify young people in challenging circumstances, and enables those young people to shape and develop projects that respond to their needs.

Working with a team of over 50 professional community musicians, Rhythmix is continually developing innovative and exciting new programmes that challenge young people to express their creativity.

Rhythmix manages and delivers the Youth Music Action Zone (Lottery funded by Youth Music) for Brighton & Hove, East Sussex, Kent and Surrey.  This programme is the direct engagement with young people and accounts for 70% of the total activity of the charity, delivering programmes that address Exclusion, Challenging Circumstances and Young People at Risk and encourage the talent and potential of these young people. Find out more here.

Rhythmix also manages and delivers the MusicLeader programme for the South East region (Lottery funded by Youth Music). This programme works to improve the skills base of musicians working with young people and increasing awareness of Music Leadership amongst partners and employers. Find out more here.

If you are already working with young people in the South East region, want to develop work in your community, or find out more about professional development please get in touch via our contact page.
