We are very grateful for generous financial support from grant-giving trusts, individuals, and trustees. As with all charities, additional funding will enable us to extend our work and help more children and young people.
If you are interested in supporting our work, please get in touch.
We are honoured to have received donations sent in memory of loved ones, including:
In loving memory of Dr Richard Shephard
“Richard Shephard’s passion and dedication to music making in York really was inspirational.”
“I acted and sang in two of Richard’s operettas as a schoolboy in Salisbury. These were very formative moments for me, and I am grateful to Richard for this amazing opportunity, his encouragement and kindness.”
In loving memory of Nick Nightingale
In loving memory of Kay Mills-Hicks
In loving memory of Sheila Winpenny
“In memory of Sheila Winpenny, our lovely neighbour, friend and music teacher.”
“In memory of Sheila Winpenny who passed on her love of music and skills to many.”
“In memory of my dear friend Sheila Winpenny, an inspiration to many.”
In loving memory of Georgia
”In memory of our granddaughter who died age 3 1/2 and who loved dancing. We want other children to have the opportunity to experience the beauty and value of music, which sadly Georgia could not have.”
In loving memory of Ruth Elizabeth Mann
“I wanted to donate on behalf of my Godmother who was a primary school teacher all her life and brought a huge amount of joy to the children she taught through her music (piano, singing and guitar).”
In memory of Gwendoline Thomson
“My mother was a piano teacher in the Selby area for many many years - she died in 2023 leaving a husband of 60 years marriage and a local legacy of children who were taught piano - the family commemorate her life of giving by making an annual donation to the Foundation in the knowledge that it will help support children in music something Mum did all her life.” - Martin Thomson
