Felicity Belfield Music Trust
The policy of the ‘Trust’ is to enable students to have an instrument worthy of their musical aptitude. Most students are recommended by their teacher as being worthy of a better instrument than they can afford. Subject to approval, the ‘Trust’ then buys (or shares the cost of) a suitable instrument for loan to the student, which must be returned when he/she reaches 25 years old.

Music For All
Music for All is the charity of the UK musical instrument industry. In our view, EVERYONE should have the opportunity to learn to play music. Sadly, many people are not fortunate enough to have access to musical instruments or ways to help them to learn and discover. Grants are available for individuals as well as schools and community groups.
