ABOUT US
We’re a lean and dedicated team passionate about the power of music, and the importance and value of music in schools, and music teachers.
We’re also … a family of schools, donors, funders and ambassadors who give their time, money and energy to make sure all young people can unlock their potential through music.
MEET THE TEAM
POLLY MOORE, CEO
Founded Restore the Music in 2013 by building unique and innovative relationships across all sectors, identifying like-minded individuals who placed the same importance on delivering music provision to all young people. Quick to see the size of the gap in funding for music in schools, as well as to understand the impact of music particularly in areas of high deprivation, in 2017 the programme formally became a charity .
HANNAH MAYBLIN, PROGRAMME ADMINISTRATOR
Joined the team in 2022 with a background in Arts Education and a shared passion for empowering young people through the provision of high quality cultural and creative experiences. With the growth of Restore the Music, Hannah plays a key role in ensuring the efficient management of the RTM network, events and comms along with the funding round data capture and website updates.
JONATHAN SAVAGE, REGIONAL PROGRAMME DIRECTOR
In charge of day to day management of the grantee network outside of London as well as identifying new opportunities for partnerships and fundraising opportunities.

“A challenging year 9 student often excluded from lessons has made a real turn, having fallen in love with the drums. He says 'I love the opportunity that has been given to me. Drumming makes me behave better and has helped me find my rhythm of life.”
