Changing Children’s Lives in Trafford through Music

Welcome to Access for Music.

We are a small registered charity based in Trafford, Manchester. We believe that access to a musical education for every child, is a right not a privilege. Access for musical opportunities is not equal for everyone and some children are severely limited by barriers to access music education.

We set up our charity to address those issues through generating funding to alleviate the barriers to a musical education, and find opportunities to work in partnership with others to achieve our goal of equitable access to music provision for every child.

Our Work

Children can apply for bursaries to fund their music tuition (lessons and ensembles).

We support community groups with grants to provide inclusive musical provision.

“Music is the heartbeat of humanity, pulsating with the rhythms of our shared experiences. Inclusive music education is the key to unlocking the potential of every individual, regardless of their background or circumstances."

— Benjamin Zephaniah
