Surrey Community Music Fund

Established in 2011, the Music Fund supports life-enhancing music projects that enable wider participation—particularly for individuals who might not otherwise have the opportunity to engage in music.

The fund is committed to breaking down barriers to access and ensuring that the joy and benefits of music—whether through performance, learning, or community engagement—are available to all.

Case Studies for Projects Funded

  • Cheryl King Trust – Christ’s College, Guildford
    Funding supported the creation of a brass band ensemble at a secondary school in an area of recognised deprivation, offering students new opportunities to learn, collaborate, and grow through music.

  • Farnham Youth Choir
    A grant provided bursary places for disadvantaged young people, enabling them to join the choir, develop their musical skills, and experience the mental health benefits of singing in a supportive group setting.

How to apply

Grants from this fund are awarded through the Foundation’s main grants round. To apply, organisations must first submit an Expression of Interest form.
