About Finding Rhythms
Registered Charity No. 1151872
We use music as a catalyst to empower people to improve their lives.
Finding Rhythms uses music as a catalyst to empower people to improve their lives. We deliver creative projects in prisons and in the community, supporting people at risk of offending to rebuild their confidence, strengthen their sense of belonging and experience a shift in how they see themselves. Led by professional musicians, participants collaborate to write, record and release original music – telling their stories, often for the first time. Our programmes also enhance employability by helping people gain a King’s Trust qualification.

Testimonials
But don’t just take it from us, here is what our participants say...
I'm a very anxious person who carries a lot of anxiety around with me on a daily basis. The process of making the album helped me to release some of that.
Project participant, HMP Woodhill
I always felt really listened to, like you were aware of people’s individual difficulties and really cared about each person. In the past I’ve felt like a nuisance, but not here.
Participant, Northwick Park Hospital
Finding Rhythms has helped me look differently at what kind of things I need to do to gain employment when I am released from custody, such as identifying short term goals that will help towards my long term goal.
Participant, HMP Swaleside
