Trust Music focuses on supporting children experiencing social, emotional and financial barriers to their music development. We provide young people with opportunities to try music for the first time, help them to take music further and nurture young talent so more individuals can consider music as a career or life-long activity.
Trust Music operates a Bursary Scheme for Bolton Music Service pupils. The scheme is means tested and is designed to support young musicians by funding music lessons, instrument hire and ensemble practice.
We also provide individual support for 8 pupils in collaboration with The Munster Trust alongside helping 15 Pupil Premium children to attend Bolton Music Centre.
We support the Furthering Talent programme at 2 Bolton primary schools in partnership with Awards for Young Musicians. 30 children currently have music tuition, alongside attending practical workshops with organisations like the National Youth Jazz Orchestra.
Children who have just started learning an instrument are given a bursary to attend an ensemble free of charge.
We deliver the hugely popular Bolton Schools Music Festival annually in partnership with Bolton Music Service, alongside events which seek to inspire, thrill and encourage children and young people to engage with music.
