Grants of up to £30,000 are available to organisations in England for projects that support disadvantaged and disabled children and young people in making, learning, and earning in music. This funding is provided through the Youth Music Trailblazer fund, which supports organisations looking to trial new work, test innovative methods, or challenge the status quo. Eligible projects could, for example, include a new community organisation exploring different ways to integrate music-making into nursery activities or an established youth centre introducing music activities for the first time. Organisations under one year old can apply for up to £15,000. A minimum of 10% match funding is required. The application deadline is 5pm on the 29th August 2025 for projects starting between January and March 2026.
