Thank you to everyone who supported the NYBBGB Bursary Fund for 2023. We have been so pleased award 22 bursaries to young people attending our courses in 2022 and will award our 2023 bursaries shortly, in advance of welcoming our members to courses for Easter and summer 2023. If you would like to support us in 2024 please visit - https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/NYBBGBBursaryFund2024

We are now raising funds to provide means-tested bursaries to young people attending our 2023 courses. We again expect to welcome 130 young musicians to the Children's Band and the Youth Band residential courses in 2023. They will receive instrumental tuition from outstanding specialist tutors, be conducted by world leaders in their field, tackle advanced brass band repertoire and make new friends for life.

The NYBBGB Bursary Fund aims to ensure that no young musician is excluded from this fabulous experience due to cost. We hope to raise £10,000 to provide at least 15 bursaries and 6 leadership awards for young musicians attending courses in 2023. We really hope you can help by making a donation.

The NYBBGB is the UKs leading brass band charity for children and young people. We exist to give the brightest young brass and percussion musicians the opportunity to develop their musicianship, play together and inspire others. Entry is by audition and our young musicians have serious potential. We are growing the next generation of brass and percussion instrumentalists, teachers and music leaders.

If you would like any further information or to talk to someone about making a donation, please contact Louise Shaw on louise.shaw@nybbgb.org.uk / 01223 737 831.
