Musical talent is everywhere: sadly, opportunity isn’t.  Too often family finances and other obstacles get in the way. Young Sounds UK are here to change this.

For nearly 30 years we’ve supported talented young people from low-income families, helping them to overcome financial and social barriers. Whether they’re making or creating music our programmes help young musicians from across the UK to fulfil their musical potential.

As we approach our 30th anniversary in 2028, we are looking for committed new trustees with energy, passion and time who will continue to drive us forward. Previous trustee experience is not necessary, and we welcome trustees who can bring a diversity of life experiences, cultural knowledge and expertise. As a national charity we are keen to attract trustees from all parts of the UK, and particularly those who are based outside London and the South East.

Above all we are looking for trustees who are passionate about, and willing to advocate strongly for, giving all young people the opportunity to have a musical life, particularly those facing the most barriers.
