Backed by financial partners including TikTok, the latest round will provide grants of up to £2,500 for early career musicians and creatives looking to launch a project, idea or business. 

According to the organisation, “accessing financial support is a huge barrier for young musicians and creatives entering the industry”. 

Applications are open to those in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland aged 18-25, and those up to the age of 30 who identify as disabled.  

Youth Music says it hopes that the grants will combat deepening inequalities across the creative industries. “The fund is especially aimed at people whose lack of finance holds them back from pursuing their goals,” the organisation said.
