Trailblazer Fund – grants to help children and young people make, learn and earn in music

Grants to help children and young people make, learn and earn in music are available to organisations in England for projects that support disadvantaged and disabled children and young people.

The funding supports organisations that want to trial work for the first time, test a new way of working, or disrupt the status quo—or all three. You can now also request personal access costs to support staff and volunteers facing additional barriers. A minimum of 10% match funding is required.

To be eligible for support, applications must meet one of the following themes:
· Early years
· Disabled, d/Deaf and neurodivergent young people
· Young people facing barriers

A Trailblazer project could be:
· Music curriculum activity in a special school, Pupil Referral Unit or Alternative Provision setting.

Deadline 11th April 2025.
