About us
Youth Music is the leading UK charity using music to transform the lives of disadvantaged children and young people. We support and develop exemplary music provision at every stage of a young person’s development, whether it’s the first time a mother and baby make music together, or a talented teen’s debut at the Royal Albert Hall.
Our Vision
Through music making, any young person, regardless of their background, should have opportunities to discover their creativity and fulfil their potential.
Our Mission
We help children and young people with least opportunity discover their creativity and potential through music making
Youth Music has transformed the landscape of musical opportunity in the UK. Since 1999, we’ve reached over 2.5 million children and young people through all types of music; both in and out of school.
Music has the power to build confidence, broaden horizons and raise aspirations. Our music programmes allow vulnerable young people to find their way, take charge of their lives and unlock their hidden potential.
Youth Music’s current work priorities are
- helping disadvantaged children and young people
- encouraging talent and potential
- improving music leadership
- music for under-5s
Youth Music is funded by Arts Council England with funds from the National Lottery. We also raise funds through gifts and donations.
