We want to extend a big thank you to Big Yellow Self Storage for their incredible support.
Their facility has made a significant difference for us. With many of our performances and concerts running late into the night, having 24/7 access to secure storage has been essential.
Both the space and their support are invaluable to us!

Today, as part of our #CultureMakes campaign, we are proud to showcase World Heart Beat's ‘bread and butter’ – young people learning music, and the social benefit impact it creates by developing skills, confidence, and opportunities for more independence for creative careers.

With the General Election just around the corner, and the recent equity report highlighting a 16% cut in Arts Council funding since 2017, it's more important than ever to highlight the economic impact of culture and put arts funding firmly back on the national agenda!
Our state-of-the-art music venue, World Heart Beat Embassy Gardens helps create thriving communities, brings creative employment and adds value and commercial opportunities to the #NineElms and #Battersea areas. The monetised benefit of this initiative is estimated to amount to £11.8 million over a 10-year appraisal period.

On Friday 21 June, we have a triple-bill from three of the finest bands in the lively London jazz scene, with thanks to PPL for their support.
Danny Piers is a British-Spanish jazz pianist based in London. He taught himself jazz piano in his late teenage years after falling in love with the music of Erroll Garner and Oscar Peterson. Having established firm roots in the swing tradition, he began to experiment with more contemporary sounds – absorbing the music of John Taylor, Gonzalo Rubalcaba and Shai Maestro.
Under the guidance of renowned British pianist Julian Joseph, Daniel has been cultivating a deep rhythmic approach and melodic sensibility to improvised music. He was one of the few selected to compete in the 15th Unisa International Jazz Piano Competition which took place in January 2024 in South Africa.

🎵 As #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek continues, it's more important than ever that our #youngvoices are heard...
The positivity of #music is well documented. Heart Beat Teacher and Mentor Ava Joseph talks about how World Heart Beat helped her in her younger years by providing a happy and stable environment when she was having a bad time.
She now gives back to her 'little chickens' 🐣with her #support and #positive vibes, and loves seeing the mood change after a good music session, 'it's like gold dust!' ✨✨

*Flash mob alert!* 🎺💃🎸🇧🇷💗🫶
Last month we collaborated with Brazil’s Orquestra Maré do Amanhã at the newly restored Battersea Power Station. Over 50 young musicians came together to perform a #flashmob to celebrate Brazil's #energy, #culture and #sport and the power of #music to connect #communities across the world!
The #musicians performed one of #Brazil’s most recognised songs, ‘Aquarela do Brasil’, which featured in the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
Today, we launch our flash mob in recognition of Battersea Power Station's #BatterseaGames - a must-visit event for #sports and games fans, until early September.
