Cumbria Music Hub believe that every child and young person should have the opportunity to experience the joy and benefits of music. This bursary has been created to help remove barriers that may prevent young people aged 0-19 from taking part in musical activities and opportunities.
The bursary can be used to support access to instrumental lessons, ensembles, performances, courses, and a wide range of other musical experiences. It sits alongside our existing remissions policy, helping us ensure that as many young people as possible can participate in music, regardless of their circumstances.
Applications are open to children and young people aged 0-19 who live, study or receive music provision within Cumbria. We particularly welcome applications from families experiencing financial hardship, young people with SEND, care-experienced children, Armed Forces families, and those facing geographical or other barriers to participation.
Each application is considered fairly and individually, taking into account financial need, musical engagement and the positive impact that support could make. Before applying, we encourage families to explore other funding opportunities, and we’re happy to signpost you to additional sources of support where appropriate.
