BRIT Trust announces new music charity grants
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 16 May 2023
Music industry charity the BRIT Trust has announced that it is providing grants to four organisations that run music-based programmes around the UK. The funding will benefit projects that support people with learning disabilities, prisoners and musicians recovering from addiction, as well as music venues.
The chosen charities are Heart N Soul, which enables people with learning disabilities to discover creative talents; Not Saints, a sobriety-based recovery record label; Sing Inside, which provides group singing workshops to prisoners; and Independent Venue Community, which supports music venues across the UK.
“So many wonderful organisations have been supported over the years by The BRIT Trust, including those that are well known to our industry such as The BRIT School and Nordoff & Robbins”, says the charity’s Chair Tony Wadsworth.
“But we [also] take great pride in giving a helping hand to many other organisations around the UK where our backing can help to make a difference to their equally vital work. On behalf of the trustees, we are delighted to support these four deserving organisations and wish them all the best in their endeavours”.
Since its launch in 1989, with funds largely provided by the BRIT Awards and the Music Industry Trusts Award, the BRIT Trust has distributed around £28 million through more than 230 grants.
