Funding is available to businesses, collectives and not-for-profits working in Great Britain's music industries to help create sustainable, meaningful career opportunities for young people aged 18-25, especially those who are currently underrepresented in the sector.
Applications will be accepted from organisations that:
- Are based in the UK and operate in Scotland, England or Wales.
- Have a business bank account.
- Can provide a recent set of financial accounts.
- Have a legal status (ie registered with Companies House, Charity Commission, FCA or HMRC or have a constitution) - the following are all eligible:
- Sole traders.
- Unincorporated associations (voluntary group with a constitution).
- Registered charities.
- Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO).
- Company limited by guarantee.
- Company limited by share capital.
- Community Benefit Society.
- Collectives - if applying as a collective with no formal legal status, then another organisation can apply on its behalf as a 'sponsor organisation'. This can be a member of the collective who is a registered sole trader, or another partner organisation.
Funding is to be used for projects that offer paid opportunities for 18-25s, and provide young people with the opportunity to develop their own projects. All participants should receive support from the organisation through incubation, training, mentoring, and networking.
Grants of £5,000 to £30,000 are available.
