The Amy Winehouse Foundation works to prevent the effects of drug and alcohol misuse on young people. We also aim to support, inform and inspire vulnerable and disadvantaged young people to help them reach their full potential. 

One of the Foundation’s main focuses is to support the personal development of disadvantaged young people through music. 

We recognise that young people from challenging backgrounds are often unable to develop their musical talents, due to a lack of access to both studio time and expert advice. 

  That is why we developed 'Amy's Yard', a 12-week programme designed to provide vulnerable young artists aged 18-25, with the confidence and skills to become self-sustaining music artists.
