About

Youth Music is the UK's largest children's music charity providing funding for music projects and activities. 

We believe in the power of music to transform young people's lives. Music has the power to encourage and nurture talent; a power that builds confidence and self-esteem; a power that opens new horizons, raises aspirations and helps individuals express who they are.

This is where Youth Music comes in.

Since 1999, we have provided over 2 million children and young people with free access to a range of music-making projects and activities. For many, being given the chance to experience the power of music has been life changing.

Because of Youth Music there are now more high quality music-making opportunities for a wider range of children and young people than ever before, from learning rock guitar or beatboxing to classical violin and everything in between.

"The day I walked in and met everyone changed my life and I felt great. I think being part of the group could help anyone. It's one of the greatest things I have been part of." Rob, 18, Cumbria
