YMM aims to keep music education accessible, with limited bursary support available for families who need help with lesson or group costs.
Bursary enquiries are handled in confidence. Families should contact YMM to discuss circumstances, availability, and the support that may be possible for the current term.
Supporters who would like to help more young musicians access YMM can visit the Support Us page.
💚 Big Give Christmas Challenge
You can help make bursaries possible for even more young musicians. We're building towards this year's Big Give Christmas Challenge, our biggest annual fundraiser for the YMM Bursary Scheme.
If we secure £2,500 in pledges (gifts of £100 or more) by 5:00pm on 28 August 2026, the Big Give will match that amount — and every public donation will be matched again during the December campaign. That means your pledge could ultimately help generate £10,000 for our bursary programme, enough to fund a full year of music for our current bursary students.
Nothing is paid now — pledges are only collected if we successfully raise the matching funds in December.
