Head of Philanthropy

Without music there is no first dance, no united chorus in the encore, no soothing Sunday soundtrack. For our client, music is their passion and its people are their purpose.

For every song there is its creators, yet being a musician means bearing your heart and fighting for chances in a sea of challenges. Our client is a charity that understands and supports music creators to navigate unsteady income, make the most of career opportunities and find a helping hand when things go wrong; being there for musicians so music can be there for us.

The organisation understands the unique pressures a life in music can create. It puts positive mental wellbeing centre stage in music and ensures everyone working in the profession has the right tools and support at the right time to stay mentally well.
