Voluntary Contributions
How will my money be spent?
We're not a registered charity, but we passionately believe that music should be accessible to everyone, not just those who can afford it. Your voluntary contributions will directly support pupils who are struggling to pay for lessons or group memberships. With your support, more pupils can experience the transformative power of music! The full amount of your contribution will be used to fund pupils musical activities.
None of your contribution will be lost in administration or management costs. The full amount of your contribution will go directly to support the area that you have chosen.

Other Contributions
Fund 1 hours instrument repair – £45
We are fortunate to be guardians of a large instrument stock funded by previous ACE grants and through income generation. But, maintaining and repairing these instruments comes at a cost. Out of a class set of 32 instruments used for a whole class teaching session, it is likely that 1 or 2 of these will be returned in need of repair. A donation to fund 1 hours instrument repair would enable us to get some of these instruments repaired by local instrument repair specialists and back into the hands of our young musicians.
