What we do

YWMP provides an inclusive, supportive space for young women and non-binary people to get together to make music, learn new skills, express themselves, and grow in confidence. We are based in Oxford, with a focus on working with women and non-binary people aged 14-21 years old. We’re much more than a charity, or a music project: we’re a supportive community.

YWMP has worked with hundreds of young people across Oxfordshire in a range of settings, building partnerships with schools, pupil referral units, hospitals, and organisations working with vulnerable young people.

We reach thousands of people each year through our gigs, events and partnerships. You’ll see us all over Oxford and beyond! Find out what’s coming up here, and stay in the loop by signing up to our mailing list.

Why we do it

Hear it directly from the women who are part of YWMP:

Our values

• We are feminists, and always strive to be trans-inclusive.

• We stand together in solidarity against racism, misogyny, transphobia, ableism, and oppression in all its forms.

• We believe that everyone should have the opportunity and resources to enjoy expressing themselves creatively without judgement or barriers, and that we have a lot to learn from each other.

• We make noise and take up space!
