About the project – SHIFT

SHIFT is a music mentoring programme run by AudioActive. The programme leverages young people’s passion for music to engage those who have offended or are at risk of offending. Participants will be paired with a SHIFT mentor; active musical artists who are also trained youth workers who’ll support them over six months to develop a more positive self-identity and relationships, improve their behaviour and enhance their well-being. The programme will be delivered and evaluated across six sites in East and West Sussex to assess its impact on reducing offending.

About the round

    Grant:Positive activities

    We’re looking to learn more about the impact of the arts, sports and wilderness and adventure activities on reducing violent offending behaviours for children and young people who have been – or are at high-risk of being – affected by violence, offending and/or exploitation.
