Youth Music is a national charity investing in music-making projects for children and young people (aged 0-25) experiencing challenging circumstances.
The funding invests in music programmes for children and young people, and work that helps organisations to diversify and be more inclusive. Programmes funded by Youth Music work with children and young people of all ages, from babies and their families through to young adults up to the age of 25, using the power of music to support musical, personal and social development.
