Sound Futures
Creative employability project funded by UK Shared Prosperity Fund
Sound Futures uses creative and digital arts, music, and radio to engage and inspire young people. We believe in amplifying aspirations, self-esteem, and self-confidence to improve the life chances for young people in Torbay. Let’s face the future with more resilience & get work ready!

What is it?
Participants in Sound Futures will enjoy group sessions, working together on projects leading up to their own event, performance, broadcast, or a final project of their choice.
In 1:1 sessions with a Sound Futures specialist, young people will play to their strengths to become financially independent, and develop the skills to make that happen.
Sound Communities has been helping young people in Torbay for over 11 years, focusing on building strong relationships with those who’ve often been let down by the system before.
Sound Futures embraces individuality & teamwork to shine a light on young people’s skills. Sessions will boost life skills, wellbeing, and essential skills to help young people become essential to Torbay’s local businesses.
This approach tackles the problems facing Torbay’s young people (like low expectations, feeling left behind, and poor prospects), and those facing Torbay’s businesses (like finding communication and decision making skills).
It matches our goals of creating job opportunities and strengthening community bonds through a community wealth-building plan.
The project lasts six weeks and starts at the end of July 2024.
