WHAT WE DO
We invest in the next generation, reaching them through school music departments.
We identify state schools in areas of high socio-economic deprivation. Then we provide funding to help them buy diverse and relevant musical instruments – the tools for change.
Place a musical instrument in the hands of a young person and you ignite:
→ self-belief and confidence
→ voice and identity
→ imagination and ambition
… and supercharge their learning.
The music department becomes an energy centre that transforms the school
and with it young people’s futures.
But why support us? Find out more about our unique way of doing things.
