Details

The YMI Strengthening Youth Music Fund supports freelance individuals and organisations working in the youth music sector to deliver activities that will improve, develop and strengthen the sector, and the services offered to benefit children and young people across the country.

It does not support music making activity directly with children and young people – this support is offered through the Access to Music Making Fund.

This fund can support applications that propose any type of activity intended to strengthen, improve and develop Scotland’s youth music sector and services for children and young people, which meet the purpose and criteria of the fund are welcomed. This activity could include, for example:

• Partnership working between formal and non-formal sectors supporting networking at local or national level
• Conferences, seminars or events sharing good practice or exploring issues pertinent to the youth music sector in Scotland
• Development and/or pooling of resources that will widen access to music for children and young people
• Delivery of action research projects that develop new approaches or methods of working
• Activity that explores ways of creating progression opportunities for children and young people through partnerships between formal and non-formal sectors
• Development of technology that will widen access to music for children and young people.
