For 30 years, The Swan has been using live music to move people, bring communities together and share stories, whether that's through our concerts, in a school, or in a care home. We're raising money to ensure that in 30 years' time, The Swan will still be sharing extraordinary live music.

Impact areas
Fewer people than ever before have access to live music in their daily lives in the UK, owing to the ever-increasing challenge of sourcing funding for the Arts. - Schools are less able to offer music provision, and for those students that do take up an instrument, group music-making activities are becoming few and far between - Smaller arts organisations, particularly those outside of major cities, are rapidly disappearing, meaning people are having to travel further to find musical activities
We want high-quality live music to be an intrinsic part of life for everyone in our local communities, and we want to ensure that The Swan provides musical opportunities that excite and involve people from all backgrounds. We're focussing on building our home in Warwick, and we want to broaden our local offering so that there is something for everyone - be that a school workshop, attending one of our dementia cafes, or performing in a care home - all at no cost to those attending the sessions.
