Music and Change (MAC) is a new and exciting project for young people aged 14-30 years on the Rowley Way Estate and local area in London’s borough of Camden. It was designed by young people for young people, with the support of the voluntary, health and business sectors.
MAC works with young people who might be considered some of London’s most challenging and marginalised and uses music as a tool for promoting positive mental health, community integration and employment. Young people co-design and co-facilitate all MAC workshops and each participant has a one-to-one mentor.
One in three young people who offend have underlying mental health difficulties such as low self esteem or low self-confidence and MAC seeks to get to the heart of these issues and to give support where needed.
MAC firmly believes that every young person has a future – its mission is to help them to find it.
Mini MAC is is the sister project of MAC
