Access to Music Making 

The purpose of the Access to Music Making fund is to create access to high-quality music-making opportunities for children and young people aged 0-25 years. Applications to the Access to Music Making fund can come from organisations and individuals based in Scotland who are delivering programmes within Scotland for the benefit of children and young people of Scotland.   

Strengthening Youth Music 

The purpose of the Strengthening Youth Music fund is to improve the youth music sector infrastructure and services on offer. Applications to the Strengthen Youth Music fund can come from organisations and individuals based in Scotland who are looking to take strategic action, undertake research or deliver training that will strengthen the youth music sector in Scotland for the benefit of children and young people. The purpose of this fund is not to support project delivery directly with children and young people.
