Matt Griffiths, Youth Music CEO said: ‘We’ve made it clear that our mission is to see music-making opportunities being made available to all young people regardless of background or circumstances. We’re putting great effort into ensuring that music-making ‘cold-spots’ get our support and investment, so that young people in these areas don’t miss out.’
Last year, Youth Music restructured its grants programme, introducing Fund A awards with grants of up to £30,000 available for smaller organisations or projects. The simplified application process for Fund A grants has made it easier for smaller organisations to apply for funding, diversifying Youth Music’s portfolio of music-making projects around the country.
Youth Music is supported by Arts Council England, People’s Postcode Lottery and charitable donations.
