Music for All's The Power of Music Fund 2025
This application form is for community groups and organisations applying for The Power of Music Fund 2025.
This fund offers small grants to local organisations that use music making to support people living with dementia and their carers. This is only open to applicants working with underrepresented communities, including those from racially minoritised communities throughout the UK. Funds can be used to support any type of ensemble including choirs, drumming circles or informal groups and should be put towards the purchase of instruments, equipment, specialised support/teaching/coaching/leading specifically designed to support the establishment and/or continuation of music groups for these groups. A grant of up to £2000 is available for this award.
The beneficiaries must be people living with dementia and their carers and the application must describe how the grant will provide a musical moment(s) of joy for a person or people living with dementia. The application can support costs associated with rehearsals/performance(s) including transport for participants.
We would like to see that all groups have some level of co-production and lived experience built into the organisation and their planning, and that activities are culturally appropriate. There is also an expectation that links will be formed to Social Prescribing networks locally, if they are not already in place.
