Access and public benefit
We connect people and organisations around music, creativity, wellbeing and heritage, with access at the heart of the work.
Who we reach
Our work speaks to young people seeking a first step, adults changing direction, artists and creative professionals needing work or support, people experiencing hardship or isolation, and communities whose stories deserve to be preserved.
It also welcomes researchers, audiences and people who want to take part in music culture across generations.
Partnerships
Schools, colleges, universities, local authorities, cultural organisations, charities and community groups can help make opportunities more accessible and rooted in local needs.
The Foundation draws on a wider network of artists, DJs, producers, broadcasters and creative professionals across recorded music, publishing, radio, live events and digital media.
Resources
Funding can come from heritage, arts and skills programmes, charitable trusts, public bodies, partners, philanthropists, donations and earned income. A balanced mix can sustain public benefit and creative work over time.
Impact and accountability
We can measure people trained and mentored, jobs and placements created, collections and oral histories preserved, new commissions, participation and wellbeing outcomes.
Trustees, safeguarding and financial accountability form part of the Foundation's approach to public benefit.
