The Sheffield Music Hub believe that every child, regardless of race; gender; where they live; their levels of musical talent; parental income; whether they have special educational needs or disabilities; and whether they are looked-after children; deserve the very best music education. Therefore, they have announced in September that FREE music group membership (Y3 - Y13) is now available for all Sheffield children where their families are in receipt of one of the following:
- Free school meal eligibility
- Universal Credit
- If not in receipt of Universal Credit, one of the following:
o Income support
o Income based Job Seekers Allowance
o Working tax credit, (where annual income is below £16,190)
They have 25 groups to choose from and cover all stages of learning from beginner to advanced players and singers. They also have a number of groups where absolutely no experience is required - just enthusiasm and a desire to learn!.
This is fantastic opportunity for children of Sheffield, but it comes at a cost, the Hub has estimated about £8,000 this year. Your donation will secure as many young people can take this opportunity and change their lives forever.
