Making music, changing lives


Youth Music is the leading UK charity using music to transform the lives of children and young people, particularly those with least opportunity.

We support hundreds of projects across the country encouraging young people to recognise their potential: from a troubled teen discovering a talent for opera, to a group of disabled children mastering skills on DJ decks.

Since 1999, we’ve reached over 2.5 million children and young people through all types of music; both in and out of school. With your support, we can help more young people to take part in life-changing musical experiences.
