We continue to work with Sandwell schools to build and support their music offer. It is our goal
to encourage every school in Sandwell to work with us, so that there is an equity of opportunity
for children to learn a musical instrument during their time at school.

We’re delighted to have been shortlisted as finalists – Co-operative of the Year at the Social Economy Awards 2025 – a celebration of the people and organisations driving forward social change, innovation, and impact across the UK.

The Awards form part of the Social Economy Drive 2025 (17th – 21st November), a week-long programme of events showcasing the strength, creativity, and diversity of our social economy. From grassroots enterprises to sector leaders, this year’s finalists represent the very best of a movement that continues to transform communities and improve lives.

This is an amazing recognition of the incredible contribution our people make every day.

The winners will be revealed on 📅 Thursday 20th November 2025 – and you can read the full shortlist here.
