Trailblazer Fund

The Youth Music Trailblazer fund offers grants to organisations in England to run projects for children and young people aged 25 or under to make, learn and earn in music. The project should trial work or test a new way of working, sustain a grassroots programme or disrupt the status quo. Projects must meet one of Youth Music's themes: Early years, Disabled/d/Deaf and neurodivergent young people, Youth justice system, Young people facing barriers, Young adults, or Organisations and the workforce. Examples include new CICs testing ways to support nurseries with music-making, grassroots organisations sustaining successful programmes, Music Education Hubs disrupting local scenes through Youth Boards, or youth centres trialling music activities for the first time.
