National UK charity Youth Music has announced a new Emergency Fund to offer additional support to music-making organisations affected by coronavirus. The fund is supported by players of People’s Postcode Lottery, PayPal, and the National Lottery via Arts Council England.
Youth Music will prioritise the people and organisations in the most immediate need, and will make decisions and payments quickly. Organisations do not need to have held a previous Youth Music grant to be eligible for this fund.
