The Music Works is committed to equal opportunity and diversity in all areas of its work. We want to ensure equality of opportunity and embrace and champion the artistic and creative strengths that diversity provides. This extends to our volunteers, participants, audiences, the communities we work with, artists we support, our staff and trustees.
Our aim is that the work we create and the teams we work with to create it are truly representative of our target audience (at least 50% lived experience of challenging circumstances), and that individuals feel valued and empowered when they work with us.
