Over 16,000 pupils in 29 state schools in areas of high deprivation will soon have access to new musical instruments and equipment thanks to a new grant from Restore The Music.
The grant totals £420,000, and will be delivered to state schools in London, Birmingham, Manchester and Newcastle. So far, 120 schools have benefited from £2.2 million of funding from the charity, reaching 80,000 pupils aged 4–18.
According to CEO Polly Moore, ‘Music unlocks potential which makes it a powerful tool for change. Yet young people – particularly those facing the biggest barriers – are being denied this. We invest in all young people, reaching them through our grants to school music departments. Music is not just a nice-to-have, it’s a must-have.’
