Welcome To The BTWSC Website

BTWSC is a Brent-based, pan-London not-for-profit voluntary organisation.

The organisation uses the creative arts to develop the potential of youths and adults. It is also engaged in raising aspirations and promoting social inclusion. BTWSC's core projects are centred around music industry, event planning, and music technology courses; writing workshops and writing competitions; ceremonies recognising unsung people; edu-tainment concerts; family and community cohesion projects; and African/black history programming.

BTWSC projects are aimed primarily, but not exclusively, at people from socially disadvantaged or excluded backgrounds or areas. Please click About Us for more information about  our organisation, its activities and its key workers, and Projects, to find out more about our past, current and upcoming projects and their associated events.

STOP PRESS: BTWSC has won its second Heritage Lottery Fund for the NARM Role Model Project. For more information about how you can nominate or give us leads to follow, click NARM Project.
