Youth Music Recharge Fund Q&A
Event Information
About this event
Please note this event is now at capacity but we will share the recording on the Youth Music Network.
Youth Music launched ‘Recharge’ a new one-off core fund, in November 2021.
The Youth Music Recharge Fund is designed to help established not-for-profits who support children and young people to make, learn or earn in music to recharge from the effects of the pandemic. A total of £1,750,000 will be invested across England, Scotland and Wales.
What does Recharge mean?
By ‘recharge’, we mean to move forwards after the effects of the pandemic, in both a wellbeing and a financial sense. Around 40 grants will be made to organisations to improve capacity, capability and wellbeing.
We designed the Youth Music Recharge Fund in response to our own research about the impact of COVID-19. You told us your highest priorities are:
• Mental health and wellbeing – 2020 and 2021 have impacted the mental health and wellbeing of staff, volunteers and the young people you support.
• Income security – Funding is set to decrease in coming years as we pay for COVID-19 spending and the economy transitions post-Brexit.
What to expect from this session?
Find out if this is the right fund for you. This is an open group Q&A session with Youth Music team members. We will answer any questions you have about the Youth Music Recharge Fund, the guidance and writing your proposal.

Organiser of Youth Music Recharge Fund Q&A
We believe that every young person should have the chance to change their life through music. Yet our research shows that many can’t because of who they are, where they’re from or what they’re going through.
Our insights, influence and investment in grassroots organisations and to young people themselves means that more 0–25-year-olds from can make, learn and earn in music.
Youth Music is a national charity funded thanks to the National Lottery via Arts Council England, players of People's Postcode Lottery and support from partners, fundraisers and donors.
