Youth Music Open Programme

Youth Music, the UK's largest children's music charity has announced that its grant making programme is now open for applications.

Through its Open Programme, grants of between £5,000 and £30,000 will be available to support projects that provide structured, regular and progressive music-making activities for children and young people in support of Youth Music's goals of working with Early Years, Children and Young People in Challenging Circumstances, Encouraging Talent and Workforce Development.

To be eligible, projects will need to:

 · work with children and young people aged 0-18 years (or up to 25 if they have special educational needs, disabilities or are in detention)
· and children and young people will be at the heart of the decision making for all projects.

There will be a number of funding rounds throughout the year and the next closing dates for applications are 10 September and 10 December 2010.
