Rhythmix wins High Street Hijack!

We are delighted to announce that the winner of our High Street Hijack competition is the music charity, Rhythmix!

Rhythmix is one of the UK’s leading music charities, delivering a large range of music making opportunities for young people across the South East region. Since 1999, Rhythmix has worked with more than 40,000 young people, enabling their creative activity through music and developing their personal and social skills. They have won £1,500 and the use of one of our spaces for their project.

The winning project proposal is a pop-up music venue in Gravesend. The plan is to hold music workshops during the day, led by professional tutors, where young people will be invited to try their hand at a musical instrument.  They won’t even need to have picked up an instrument before! Whilst engaging in these workshops, the participants will be encouraged to work towards a concert that will be held that same evening, where the whole community will be welcome to come along and support the concert and charity.

We’re really excited about this event, and can’t wait to see the positive effect this, and further projects from Rhythmix will have on the local and wider community. What a fantastic opportunity and what a fantastic charity. Keep an eye on our website for details closer to the time if you fancy coming along to this brilliant event – you never know, you might discover you are a budding music star in the making!
