Vision
Our vision is for every child or young person to be able to access enriching and relatable musical experiences, whatever their age, ability, or life circumstances.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide a broad range of progressive musical pathways and opportunities for all to develop a life-long love of music and realise their musical potential whilst developing their personal / social identity. We will do this by working closely in partnership with outstanding music and education organisations that are committed to our ethos. Together we will embed best-practice and implement visionary and effective models of partnership work to ensure comprehensive routes of engagement, opportunity, and progression.
Who we are:
The Tri-borough Music Hub (TBMH) is the award-winning lead organisation that oversees the delivery of music education in the three West London boroughs of Hammersmith and Fulham, Kensington and Chelsea, and the City of Westminster. We work with schools, pupils, music educators and the community to provide engaging music activities for children and young people across the three boroughs. We are a centralised Local Authority service which receives core funding from the Department for Education via Arts Council England. We operate a shared-services model across three Local Authorities to deliver an expansive programme of musical learning, in and out of school.
Alongside the three Local Authorities, the TBMH Strategic Partners are two internationally renowned organisations - the Royal Albert Hall and the Royal College of Music. In addition, a dedicated and quality-assured group of delivery partner organisations, with evidence of a successful track record, work to meet the TBMH’s strategic aims and positively contribute to our stakeholders. The TBMH is a music-specific service focused on high quality outcomes inclusive of all learners. It recognises the numerous benefits that music can bring to everyone from all backgrounds and in all circumstances. For more information about the work of the TBMH see annual reports HERE.
Key Themes in the evolution of the TBMH
Four common themes have emerged from our 2021 stakeholder consultation (HERE) and research which reinforce the necessary direction of travel for the hub, and which highlight the challenges that need to be overcome in order to deliver the best possible service. The themes are:
-
Access, diversity, and inclusion: Ensuring all children and young people who wish to access our services, can do so
-
Children’s enjoyment and wellbeing: Providing enjoyable activities for children and young people and supporting their health and wellbeing as we emerge from the challenges of the pandemic
-
Youth voice: Ensuring that young voices are at the heart of our offers and the decisions we make as a service
-
Relationships and communication: The importance of listening to and communicating clearly with our audiences, partners, service users and workforce.
