About Us
Music4Children is a charity dedicated to improving the lives of children and young people, both in the UK and around the world. We use music and other creative activities as tools to fundraise, educate and heal.
Music4Children uses collaboration wherever possible, working alongside existing organisations to deliver projects tailored to the needs of the young people we support. Where we can, we will develop long-term relationships with our partner organisations so we can provide a level of consistency for their beneficiaries.
Our most established partnerships are with a group of refugee children in Streatham, and with young people in Margate identifying as LGBTQ+ and/or with SEND. Other partnerships have begun more recently with a group of young people in the care of the local authority in Cambridge, young people with SEND in Camden, and with traveller and Roma children in Ipswich.
In 2020 we began developing online activities, as a response to the Covid-19 restrictions imposed that year. Post-lockdown, we have continued to deliver these alongside our more traditional face-to-face sessions. This has enabled us to work with organisations over greater distances than we previously could, including some based overseas. So far we have helped to deliver overseas projects in Mexico and Barbados.
Music4Children also supports a residential shelter for disadvantaged girls in Dhulikhel, Nepal. This was the original inspiration for founding the charity and has been operational since August 2014. Managed locally by Help Nepal Network, it currently looks after more than 20 girls aged 6-18 years.
Music4Children was shortlisted for the 2022 National Diversity Awards (Community Organisation - Multi-Strand).
