Situation
In the current economic landscape more and more families are struggling to keep up with the rising costs of living. Some families also struggle with having the ability to earn through disability, mental health issues. This often prevents talented children and young people from accessing arts education. Our music4everyone Bursary Fund tackles this issue by funding music education for those facing such barriers. The demand for our bursary fund has more than tripled in the last 2 years.
Solution
£245 allows us to fund 1-1 instrumental tuition for a young person for 10 weeks. £72 allows us to fund access to a group/ensemble music activity for 10 weeks. Every penny we raise towards our bursary fund is spent directly on funding tuition and musical experiences for those whose financial circumstances are a barrier. Once a bursary student is approved, our continuing campaign allows us to fund their tuition ongoing until the leave school or decide to stop themselves.
