Funding Information

The Youth Music Trailblazer fund offers grants of £2,000 to £30,000 to organisations in England to run projects for children and young people (25 or under) to make, learn and earn in music. The project should trial work or test a new way of working, sustain a grassroots programme or disrupt the status quo (or all three!).

Your work must meet one of the following themes:

  • Early years
  • Disabled, d/Deaf and neurodivergent young people
  • Youth justice system
  • Young people facing barriers
  • Young adults
  • Organisations and the workforce.

A Trailblazer project could be:

  • A new CIC testing out different ways of supporting nurseries to embed music-making into their day-to-day activities.
  • A small grassroots music organisation that wants to sustain a successful programme of music-making.
  • A Music Education Hub that wants to disrupt the status quo of their local music scene by setting up a Youth Board that has budget & power to make decisions about how the hub is run.
  • An established youth centre trialling a programme of music activities for the first time

Grants of £2,000 to £15,000 are available to organisations of less than one year old. Grants of £2,000 to £30,000 are available to organisations of more than one year old.
