Funding for One Spirit

We're delighted to have received a 3-year Catalyser grant from Youth Music to support One Spirit, which works with young offenders in custody, the community and those at risk in PRUs to ignite sector change through its therapeutic effects on mental health of combining music and mentoring in custody and on release, as well as its impact on prevention of those at risk of entering the youth justice system.

"HMDT Music offer a vital service to young people at HMYOI Feltham. The project ……. allows them to express and process their emotions connected to their experiences in a meaningful way. HMDT Music are one of the only (if not the only) agency currently able to offer ‘through the gate’ support to their participants [……..] the value of this cannot be underestimated at what is a potentially highly vulnerable time for a young person, enabling continuity with established relationships" - KH, Child and Family Psychodynamic Psychotherapist HMYOI Feltham A.
