Big Give Christmas Challenge success!

We are thrilled to announce that we raised over £9,000 in our Big Give Christmas Challenge! We would like to thank all of our donors and supporters and give huge thanks to The Reed Foundation who were our Champion and matched every donation, meaning that your impact was doubled.

Donations from the campaign will go towards Wired4Music, our safe and supportive community for young Londoners age 16-25 years to become the artists, musicians and future leaders, widening access and providing pathways to meaningful careers into the creative industries. Established in 2010 we work with members through mentoring opportunities that respond directly to their needs and interests, paid work placements that enable young people to develop skills and confidence and financial investment programmes enabling young people to pursue their project ideas.

Wired4Music member, Kye, recently commented,

“Wired4Music has given me a confidence boost that people believe in my music and are willing to back me through a project. It’s been nice having someone check in through the summer on my progress and I’m excited to use my funding for studio time as this is something I’d otherwise be unable to do.”

Membership of Wired4Music is free for any young Londoner age 16-25, and you can find out more information here.
