About Us

Who are we?

soundLINCS is a not-for-profit community music organisation unleashing potential through music by delivering high-quality and innovative music making opportunities.

What do we do?

We think music can change your world. We offer music-making opportunities for people from all walks of life. Our services are inclusive, exciting and are delivered by creative, innovative people.

  • We create and innovate bespoke music projects and workshops for a diverse range of people to suit their needs.
  • We develop and provide access to a range of music information.
  • We deliver training to encourage and empower others to provide high-quality music-making opportunities.
  • We work with academics to study the social impact of music so we can learn, develop and share with others the empowering qualities of music-making.

Why do we do it?

Our vision is that everyone has an opportunity to be empowered through music.

soundLINCS began in 1998, set up by community musician and CEO Nikki-Kate Heyes MBE.

We provide music workshops and residencies in most music and multi-arts genres. You name it, we can usually deliver it!  Just call to discuss 01522 510073.

Over the years soundLINCS has built a national reputation for delivery and training work around Musical Inclusion, working closely with participants and staff across a wide range of strands, including early years, looked after children, youth justice services, hospitals, young parents, special education needs, older adults and rural isolation.

Our vision is that everyone has an opportunity to be empowered through music.
