Youth Music launches second round of Fund C


We've now published the application guidelines for the second round of Youth Music’s Fund C grant award (and the online application form is due to open in mid-May).

The aim of Fund C is to expand and embed high quality, inclusive music-making, working collaboratively across a defined geographical area. Successful organisations will play a key strategic role in helping Youth Music achieve a musically inclusive England.

We know that there’s still an imbalance when it comes to access and progression in music-making, where many children and young people nationwide - particularly those experiencing challenges in their lives - miss out on opportunities to regularly make music, to progress and fulfil their potential.

We want to tackle the current imbalance by increasing the number of organisations who are adopting, embedding and improving musically inclusive practice, both within and beyond Youth Music’s grants portfolio.

Find out more about Fund C, including how to apply.

Until next time,

Youth Music
