Youth Music Programme
Youth Music is the UK’s largest children’s music charity, set up in 1999 to promote and support music-making opportunities for children with the least access.
Youth Music’s vision is that life-changing music-making is available to all children and young people.
Grants are available to a range of organisations for music-making projects in England that increase the number of children and young people across England that have the opportunity to take part in high quality musical activities.
To be eligible for funding, organisations must meet the following criteria:
- Be based in the UK.
- Be delivering projects in England for participants resident in England.
- Be registered charities or not-for-profit organisations such as Companies Limited by Guarantee or constituted community groups. Profit-sharing organisations based in the UK are also eligible to apply, so long as the work they propose to undertake will not make any profit for the organisation.
- Have been legally constituted and providing activity for a minimum of one year.
- Be able to supply the most recent set of accounts, which are no more than 18 months old.
- Have an Equal Opportunities Policy and a Child Protection Policy in place.
- Have Employers’ and Public Liability Insurance in place, and comply with all statutory laws and regulations relating to the work proposed.
Various funding schemes are available, each with their own application deadlines. Please check the following website for further information on each scheme and How to Apply.
