About us
Who we are
Good Vibrations works across the UK with prisons, young offender institutions, secure hospitals and community organisations, supporting people with mental health needs, people in challenging circumstances and disabled people.
Our charity’s vision is to help create a safer, more-empathetic UK, where vulnerable people - including those convicted of offences - are given the chance to become valued members of society and to forge fulfilling and constructive lives. We inspire and motivate vulnerable people with complex needs and give them the tools they need to help them realise their true potential and build more positive futures.
We run music-making projects where participants make their own music, put on performances, and create recordings. Our projects are all about listening, communicating, team working, problem solving, and reflecting. We particularly like working with Indonesian gamelan as it creates an excellent space for creative, impactful work. It is very accessible and well suited to developing collaboration and confidence.
We work with around 800 individual participants and 30 partner organisations per year. Our team comprises 5 members of staff, 12 freelance music facilitators, 6 regular volunteers and 9 trustees.
