Swansea Music Art Digital

Changing Young People's Lives

About Us
Swansea Music Art Digital is a grassroots registered charity (Charity Number: 1190983) passionate about digital inclusion, the arts, social justice, heritage and the environment. Established in 2009, driven by a mission to support access and ensure equality of opportunity to the creative arts and digital technology, we are connected to our communities; including being directly run by the communities we support.

Exciting new projects
Supported by Youth Music, the InTune project will widen access to music and creative arts through providing a recording studio, training, support, mentoring and (Living Wage) paid internships for 18-25 year olds in Swansea.

The Project will help young people develop confidence, increase their skills, gain qualifications and progress in careers in the Music Industries. It will provide opportunities for and enable young people in Swansea to achieve their potential, through increasing access to the arts and promoting social inclusion.

Listening to Young People
The project has been shaped by what young people in Swansea tell us they want and need in order to progress and achieve. InTune will address barriers which have been identified by young people in Swansea and which are echoed in the Youth Music Blueprint for the Future report, including a lack of local opportunities, lack of financial support and lack of relevant work opportunities which prevent young people from disadvantaged backgrounds from progressing in the music industries.

How you can support Young People
Many of the young people we support experience poverty and discrimination, including those who are disabled, unemployed, experiencing mental health problems, homelessness and low literacy.
You can support Swansea MAD to help young people to express themselves, be creative and achieve their potential.
