Services For Education uses the power of learning and music to create and build confidence among children, young people, adults, and communities across Birmingham.

Our mission is to bring music and learning to life. We believe that every young person should be able to grow up to be the very best that they can be, regardless of their background.

To this end the charity was formed in 2012 to provide more opportunities for children of all ages and abilities in Birmingham to reach their full potential. Our work has recently expanded to include working with young people, adults and communities.
