Youth Music Feedback Survey 2024: Summary of findings

The Youth Music Feedback Survey is an annual survey we undertake with our funded partners, as well as with those who applied for a Youth Music grant. We conduct the survey to evaluate our performance as a funder and determine areas we can improve our performance. We also use it to gather insights about the grassroots organisations and young people we work with. This year’s survey collected data on three topics: the cost-of-living crisis, environmental sustainability, and youth voice.

The survey findings are analysed by Youth Music’s Insights team and a set of recommendations are produced. These can be found at the end of this blog.
