Are there any current or past youth music funded projects working with exploited children through music?

Hi Lizz. My initial thoughts are Music Action International, Fairbeats! and Amies Freedom Choir (I think they work with mostly over 18s though but may work with younger women). It depends on how broad your definition of exploitation is - there are certainly other projects we can signpost you to such as AudioActive and Music Fusion who have both done work with young people who are at risk of being exploited by criminal organisations, or of being radicalised to extremist ideologies. A lot of the YMCAs might have experience of this too, such as Nottinghamshire YMCA and also Daisi have done some work in this area, particularly through some of their partners. Hope this helps!

Phoebe, this is so helpful thank you for your speedy response, do you have any direct contact details/ information about the projects you mentioned? We are putting an expression of interest for work with these groups and thought it would be really helpful to build on existing effective interventions/approaches! Many thanks in advance
