Creative inclusion

Harmony Maidstone uses creativity and the arts to bring people together, creating inclusive spaces where individuals of all ages and backgrounds can express themselves. Through music, art, workshops and community events, the organisation works to reduce isolation and support wellbeing.

The funding will support a fortnightly youth social programme at Harmony HQ for young people, particularly those who are LGBTQIA+, neurodiverse or at risk of feeling isolated. Sessions will use creative activities, including music production, art and other forms of self-expression, as accessible ways for young people to build relationships, explore their identities and strengthen their confidence.

By creating an ongoing support network, the project will help young people develop a lasting sense of belonging and access a safe community where they feel valued and accepted.
