FINANCIAL SUPPORT
We exist to provide support to the UK music sector, whether you’re working as a performer, administrator, technician, teacher, or anything in between.
If your physical or mental health is affecting your ability to work, we provide financial assistance for many health needs including physical and emotional therapies, referrals to specialised practitioners and associated treatments, or short-term living expenses. We also help those needing support on a more long-term basis, by funding home adaptations and mobility aids.
Our support extends throughout your working life and into retirement.
OUR GUIDELINES
In a profession where public knowledge of illness or financial difficulty has a devastating impact on an individual’s career, we ensure that every application for assistance is treated with the utmost discretion and sensitivity. To see if we can help you, view the ‘Guidelines for Assessing Applications for Financial Assistance’ below.
