FUNDERS AND SUPPORTERS
A heartfelt thank you to our funders and loyal supporters – without you, our vital work wouldn’t be possible.
Orchestras for All funders
Funders are essential to the success of Orchestras for All, enabling us to bring the joy and power of ensemble music-making to young people facing significant barriers to participation.
Your funding allows us to deliver inclusive programmes like National Orchestra for All and Modulo, providing accessible opportunities that inspire confidence, creativity and collaboration.
By supporting us, you ensure that young musicians across the UK have the resources, training and support they need to thrive, regardless of their background or circumstances. Together, we can create a world where every young person has the chance to experience the transformative impact of joining an ensemble.

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.”
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.
