Make Music Make a Difference
We understand that this is a tough time for most of us with the current economic crisis, however we need to make sure that we continue to provide our young people the musical opportunities they need to thrive and succeed. There are many ways you can support us, please read below to see how.
Join our Monthly Giving Programme!
Did you know that we have our own Monthly Giving programme? Monthly giving is one of the most sustainable sources of revenue for charities. For a small sum – equal to the price of a CD or an album download – each month, you can help support hundreds of children to learn and play music. We are looking to sign up more monthly givers - if you or anyone you know is passionate about music making and Nottingham, please join our programme and become one of our Champions!
