PLEASE SUPPORT US
Together, we can make a positive impact.
Without the ongoing support of our wonderful funders, donors and advocates, Orchestras for All’s vital work would not be possible. We are so grateful for your kind generosity, helping us change the lives of young people all across the UK by breaking down significant barriers to musical participation.
There are several ways you could help us transform the lives of young musicians, if you are able:
Make a donation
Every penny makes a huge difference to the number of young people that we can reach each year. A one-off donation – whether small or large – takes just a few seconds to complete but leaves a legacy that lasts for years.
Become a Friend
Friends are vital to Orchestras for All. Though their continued support, we can plan for the future and make the biggest leaps forward – helping more young musicians across the country than ever before.
As a Musician, Section or Orchestra Friend, over 12 months your donations could cover the cost of:
Musician:
£10 a month
Accommodation and food for one musician at a National Orchestra for All course.
Section:
£20 a month
One Orchestral Tutor to lead a section of instruments at a national Modulo Meet.
Orchestra:
£50 a month
Hiring a rehearsal space for one day at the National Orchestra for All summer course.
Friends will receive monthly updates in our newsletter about how their donation is making a difference to the lives of young musicians as well as recognition in our programmes and on our website, along with exclusive invitations to Orchestras for All’s exciting line-up of events.
If you’re able to make an even greater contribution, you might like to consider joining our Baton Circle.
Leave a musical legacy
If you would like to leave your own musical legacy and pass on your love of music to future generations, please consider leaving a donation to Orchestras for All in your Will.
All gifts are very welcome whatever their size, and all donations will go directly towards our work with young musicians throughout the UK.
Other ways you can support us
There are all kinds of ways you can fundraise for Orchestras for All, from running in a marathon to hosting a special event. You could even dust off an old musical instrument and join us for our winter fundraiser, Musical Chairs. Whatever you’re thinking of, do get in touch and we’ll be happy to help in any way that we can.
Our promise to supporters
As a registered charity we are so grateful for your support. In return, we promise that we will:
use your donation wisely in order to have the greatest impact on the lives of young musicians facing access to music-making across the UK
store and manage your information responsibly and in accordance with Data Protection legislation
update you on the progress of our work and the impact of your support, should you be happy to receive such information from us

And finally, a kind-hearted gesture…
We would like to extend our thanks to Nigel at Dorset Pianos, who has kindly set up optional donations to Orchestras for All for his customers when they purchase pianos from his shop.
Nigel said: “To make a cooperative society rather than a competitive society, I believe we should all use our own personal skill-sets to give something free to our communities. Music has been shown to help improve people’s mental quality of life as well as academically.
“Children are just starting out on their life journey and enabling early access to a piano will enrich their lives. We are in a position to source, make good and store pianos for those who otherwise wouldn’t get a chance.”
