iKoustic Ltd, a company based in Wetherby, have built our 'Safe Space'; a studio pod for us here at our home in The Media Centre in Huddersfield. It is lined with an acoustic wafer and sound baffles to create a quiet space for recording and production. With support from the town centre development programme from Kirklees Council, from the One Community Foundation, Creative Minds and from The National Lottery Community Fund, our safe space is a brand new facility for young people in Kirklees.

Our Mission

At Yorkshire Youth and Music, we believe in the power of music to make lives better. Our Safe Space Studio is a testament to this belief, providing a crucial outlet for young people to manage stress, build resilience and healthy self-confidence through creative expression.

Why It Matters

Mental health challenges are increasingly common amongst UK children and young people. Taking part in arts-based activity has been shown to have a range of benefits, including: helping to alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression, improve mood and foster a sense of belonging and community. Our studio offers space to those struggling with their mental health, creating opportunities for personal growth and healthy habits for the future.
