"Sound Gallery Studios has just secured support for its new youth programme. A win for young music-makers across Devon who don’t always get the chance to step into a professional studio. The team has been awarded funding through the Devon Youth Council’s Places to Go, Things to Do Youth Fund, backing their Access to SiMPTI project – a training and enrichment programme aimed at young people who want to further develop their skills in music and production. Access to SiMPTI is designed for 15–25-year-olds with some experience creating music who need a safe, supportive space to grow. The focus is on young people who are at risk of social exclusion. This includes individuals not in education or work, those living with mental health challenges, neurodivergent young people, LGBTQ+ creatives and anyone facing financial hardship. What they’re being offered is proper time in a real studio with professionals who know their craft and want to pass it on. If you know Sound Gallery, you’ll know this isn’t a new direction. This is another reminder that grassroots creativity doesn’t happen by accident; instead, it happens when places like Sound Gallery keep their doors open and fight for those who need and deserve a way in."
