Our Purpose
Our core purpose is giving disadvantaged children and young people opportunities to gain confidence, skills and improve their prospects while having fun and expressing themselves.
Through our Music for Wellbeing sessions, we develop and support children and young people referred to us by schools, charities, local authorities, agencies, care providers and families. Our facilities offer a safe, nurturing environment where they can express themselves, collaborate and explore their potential.
We provide music lessons to children who are unable to access them at school and adults who want to support our cause. We provide a launch pad for school-aged musicians, groups, producers and technicians.
"Everyone who comes to Wrexham Sounds for music lessons is putting something back into the local community by contributing to our work with disadvantaged children and young people."
Chris Lloyd, Chairman, Wrexham Sounds

Our Values
Wrexham Sounds is all about:
- Equality: We work closely with our service users, their families, community partners, client organisations and supporters, sharing lessons learned to improve what we do.
- Positivity: The circumstances of children and young people referred to us can make long-term commitment difficult. We focus on the needs of the individual and what they achieve.
- Being practical: Our beneficiaries gain the most when our services and activities are practical, relevant to them and their lives, and the outcomes are tangible.
- Having fun: Gaining confidence and feeling better about yourself is more likely to happen in an environment where you can be yourself and mistakes are fun not faults.
- Personal growth: We are fully committed to the development of everyone we engage with and do what we can to help them develop skills, grow in confidence, and enjoy life.
