What we do

Seed Studios is an arts and wellbeing organisation running music studios for 18+ adults in Old Trafford & Broomwood (Timperley). We work holistically to tackle health inequalities by empowering local people to achieve personal and creative goals. Using music as a tool, we improve wellbeing, confidence and social capital, helping local people gain a better chance in life.
At the core of our activities are our Community Music Wellbeing Workshops which take place every week and are free and open to all adults aged 18+. We encourage volunteers to lead sessions, sharing skills and equipment while developing their own artistic practice inspired by local diversity. Volunteers are rewarded through opportunities for personal studio usage and performance opportunities, as well as having a say over our charity’s management and direction.
