Youth Music, the UK’s largest children’s music charity has announced its grant making programme is once again open for applications. Through its “Open Programme”, grants of between £5,000 and £30,000 are available to support projects that provide music-making activities for children and young people in support of Youth Music’s goals.
Youth Music will fund any non profit-making organisation more than one year old that is committed to music-making activities for children and young people up to 18 (or up to 25 if they have special educational needs, disabilities or are in detention). Youth Music aims to support music making activities principally in out of school hours such as during weekends, holidays as well as in breakfast and after schools clubs.
Youth Music understands that programmes may need to begin in school hours especially if the proposal involves encouraging first time participation in music. To help with this, Youth Music will consider applications for programmes where up to 25% of the time is spent in school hours. The proposed programme should aim to encourage children and young people to eventually make music outside of school hours.
There is a two stage application process and the next closing date for stage 1 applications is 5pm on the 11th April 2012. For more information visit: http://network.youthmusic.org.uk/funding

The Arts Council’s Strategic Touring Programme was launched on 5 December 2011. The Strategic touring programme aims to ensure that people across England have improved access to great art visiting their local area. This includes:
- better access to high quality work for people in places in England which rely on touring for much of their arts provision
- more high quality work to reach people and places with the least engagement
- more high quality work on tour connecting more effectively with people across a wide range of venues
In order to explain the scheme the Arts Council is holding a briefing event at The Pyramid, Palmyra Square South, Warrington, WA1 1BL.
The briefing will:
- outline the new programme and its aims, which have been drawn from our national approach to touring
- provide an opportunity to hear about the programme first hand and ask questions about it
- provide the opportunity to network with potential partners within the region and to discuss any ideas you might have regarding working with other organisations nationally
We anticipate demand for this event will be high so places will be allocated on a first come first serve basis and strictly limited to one person per organisation.

Upto £32,000 depending on experience (0.8 Pro Rata)
