In 2024 we launched our Music Makers’ Charter, campaigning for greater investment in music making opportunities, and recognition of it’s widespread benifits. This campaign invited people to show their support by signing up and sharing how they would support the Music Makers’ Charter through their involvement in music making. Supporters were encouraged to commit to specific actions aligned with the aims of the Charter.

The Change.org page enabled signatories either to register their support for the Charter or to outline ways they planned to get involved in music making and/or encourage more music makers within their communities. We are proud to have gained the support of over 565 individuals.

Music for All did not police the commitments made by supporters. Any pledges were personal and could be fulfilled according to each individual’s own timescales.

For over 30 years, Music for All has supported individuals and groups to access music making. Our charity’s growth sits in the context of a worrying and widening gulf between our understanding of the power of music to improve our health, wellbeing, education, economy and social cohesion, and the harsh realities faced by aspiring music makers. The cost-of-living crisis, an overstretched healthcare system and under-valued music education services are all significant contributing factors. Now is the time to get vocal and unify support for funding music making.

Music for All wants to:

• Highlight the lack of access to music making 

• Highlight the considerable and numerous benefits of music making

• Demonstrate how everyone can benefit from music making

• Unify interest groups and individuals across education, health and wellbeing to demand greater opportunities for music making in these areas.

Yes! Our research & resource page highlights many well established reports outlining the health, educational and wellbeing benefits of music making.
