Pukaar Project Southampton

 
 

Our Mission
To bring people together through multi-cultural music, performance and media while supporting the development of upcoming local talent.

Our uniqueness is in utilizing local performers to bridge the divide between ethnic communities, social groups and generations, rather than developing performance and media to target specific audiences.

Our Vision
For the people of Southampton and beyond to be united,celebrating their differences in culture, ethnicity, economic status, age and gender.

Our Work
To connect with as many people as possible across Southampton to fulfill our mission. We do this through organising a range of social events, the creation of a multi-cultural band, running music workshops and providing support and assistance to specific individuals.

Individual assistance includes: sponsoring refugees and others within the community who do not otherwise have the finance or confidence to attend a social function; giving individual musicians support to produce and market their work; providing volunteer opportunities for marketing, journalism, event management and website design.

Throughout all of our work we stress the importance of ongoing learning and development, from Directors down, with particular emphasis on peer support.

Community Partnership
Pukaar believes that to bring about community cohesion it is essential to work in partnership with other community groups and organisations. This both involves different degrees of linking-up with others within many aspects of our work and assisting other organizations to put on fundraising or promotional events.

Volunteers
As a small charity working to promote new talent volunteers are key to all aspects of our work. Supporting individuals to develop their skill and experience for the benefit of their community is the essence of our work.

Current Pukaar is run and managed by a small board of directors, supported by and advisory board and our team of dedicated volunteers. Volunteers who have reached a significant level of performance and/ or mentoring within the Pukaar Band may occasionally receive payment for commercial events
