The purpose of the Strengthening Youth Music fund is to improve the youth music sector infrastructure and the services that organisers offer to strengthen the youth music sector in Scotland for the benefit of children and young people.
The purpose of this fund is not to support project delivery directly with children and young people. If you are looking to apply for a project which focuses on delivery with children and young people, you should instead explore the YMI Access to Music Making fund.
Watch as Creative Learning Officer Sarah Lockhart explains more about the fund.
Applications to Strengthening Youth Music Fund can come from organisations and individuals based in Scotland or who are delivering programmes within Scotland for the benefit of the people of Scotland.
Organisations already in receipt of Regular Funding can apply, but you should discuss your intention to apply for funding with your lead officer in the first instance. Applications will be required to demonstrate why the proposed activity is additional to your existing funding agreement and how the activity enhances current and future plans.
Full details on eligibility can be found in the guidance.
There will be one deadline for the Access to Music Making Fund in 2023/24.
