I'm running the Big Half to help raise money for the Conservatoire's bursary fund.

We are committed to opening up art, music and drama education to everyone, and the bursary programme enables children from really tough backgrounds to have a chance to take part in creative activities.

We currently support over 50 young people who otherwise wouldn't have the chance to learn an instrument, make art, or perform drama, but we want to do more.

These opportunities can really change the lives of some of the poorest and most challenged people in SE London. Please help us to make a difference.
