The Rhythm Studio Foundation marked its 15th Anniversary with an intimate, live music event to thank it partners and supporters who have played such an invaluable role since its inception.
Founder Chris Hodges set up this charity in 2011, due to his frustration that local young people, often from the poorest local wards, were unable to access music lessons. Whilst The Rhythm Studio Foundation has come a long way in addressing this inequality, he noted that the overall situation has actually become more challenging, despite the excellent work being done locally by organisations such as the Tri-borough Music Hub and the Music House For Children.
Since 2011, The Rhythm Studio Foundation’s work has:
· Enabled over 3,500 primary school children to learn an instrument, form a band, and produce their own compositions.
· Awarded over £250,000 in music scholarships, removing financial barriers for young people to access music lessons that help them fulfil their potential.
· Brought comfort and creativity to almost 10,000 young patients, their carers and families at St Mary’s and Chelsea & Westminster Hospitals.
The Mayor of Hammersmith and Fulham, Councillor Sharon Holder commented “This local music charity has had such an impact across the Tri-borough area over the last 15 years. Being embedded in the community, The Rhythm Studio Foundation has always identified and responded to those areas in greatest need.”
Following a tour around The Rhythm Studio’s industry standard music studios, the audience was treated to performances by an exceptional group of talented young artists – sixth former Skye Bishop, a band fronted by scholarship holder Nicole Ferreira, and former student Anu Badmus, who is now one of The Rhythm Studio Foundation’s Young Trustees. The audience included the Lord Mayor of Westminster, Councillor Paul Dimoldenberg, and local MP Andy Slaughter, alongside representatives from the Ed Sheeran Foundation, The Worshipful Company of Glovers, The Golden Bottle Trust, the Royal Albert Hall, the Triborough Music Hub, the Music House For Children and many other supporters from the local area. It was a joyful, inspiring event, and a perfect example of a community-based charity amplifying its impact by working with fantastic partners and supporters.
