We are committed to transforming lives through music and are currently reaching more children than ever before. Our work relies on a range of schools, funders and supporters who share our vision. Without their generosity, our programmes would not be possible. Making music together teaches us to listen, adapt, explore, persevere, solve problems, think laterally and perform without fear. Join us today in enriching children’s lives, their schools and communities.
Fundraise for the Schools Singing and Instrumental Programmes
From cakes sales to fun runs and sponsored walks, if you’d like to fundraise for us then we’d love you to get in touch and we would be delighted to support you across our social media platforms. We are a registered charity on Facebook so supporters now have the option to create birthday and event fundraisers for us.

Legacy Donations

Highlights of our Rome tour with Bradford Catholic Youth Choir...Mass at the Basilica of San Paolo fuori le mura - singing under the 5th century mosaics and with the tomb of St Paul, preceded by a visit to the Pontifical College Beda for afternoon tea and rehearsal.
3One of the highlights of singing mass at St Peter's Basilica was our cathedral organ scholar Anthony conducting the choir - Anthony joined the choir 11 years ago as a treble, and is now studying music at Huddersfield University. Donate to our tour fund: https://t.co/WFFxzSSV96
