Aim The aim is to fund music-making activity in England. Although participants in general must be 18 or under, funds are available for activities with disabled young people, those with special educational needs and those in detention up to the age of 25.
Who can apply? Projects need to fall under one of the three themes: early years; challenging circumstances or encouraging talent and potential. Projects must run between six and 24 months. Organisations need to have been legally constituted for at least one year.
