We are delighted to announce that the Sarah Nulty Power of Music Foundation has awarded a grant to Arundel Lane Studios – a vibrant creative music hub based in Sheffield, dedicated to transforming lives through the power of music.
Arundel Lane Studios is a community-focused organisation with a mission to engage, empower, and uplift individuals, particularly those who may not thrive in traditional settings. From young people facing barriers in education or mental health, to care-experienced individuals and underrepresented communities, the studio offers high-quality, accessible opportunities to explore music, build confidence, and express creativity in a safe and inclusive environment.
The funding will support their upcoming event, Sheffield Sounds – a two-day celebration of community, creativity and connection. Held at their central Sheffield studio, the event will be free and open to the public, featuring hands-on DJing and music production workshops, live performances, open decks, and opportunities for people to record or showcase their own music in a professional, welcoming space.
The grant from The Sarah Nulty Power of Music Foundation will help make Sheffield Sounds fully accessible to everyone. By removing financial and social barriers, the support ensures that those who stand to benefit most can take part, feel welcome, and experience the event in a truly inclusive environment.
Participants will gain valuable creative and technical skills, receive mentorship from professional artists, and grow in confidence through expression and performance. Importantly, Sheffield Sounds will serve as a welcoming entry point into further engagement with music – whether for personal development, education or future career paths. Above all, it will create a space where people feel seen, supported and connected through the unifying power of music.
We are proud to support Arundel Lane Studios in their incredible work and to continue Sarah’s legacy – championing the belief that music has the power to connect, inspire, and transform lives.
Stay tuned for updates about the event, and follow Arundel Lane Studios to see more of the amazing work they are doing across Sheffield.
