How We Can Help You
The Cheryl King Trust can help you in a variety of ways by:
Helping to fund music lessons for your students
Please encourage parents of your pupils to apply for our bursaries Click here for the text of an email that you can send to parents encouraging them to apply
Click here for more details about our bursaries for music lessons.
Supporting projects and ensembles for your students
We are also willing, on an exceptional basis, to consider co-funding other projects and ensembles for young musicians where there are a significant number of participants who are from under privileged or financially disadvantaged backgrounds. The amount of funding we might provide would usually be linked to the percentage of their participation.
Contacting us
Please contact us if your school has a project or ensemble that you think might qualify for support.
How you can help us
State Schools
You can help us by :
making parents aware of how we help
nominating students for bursaries
contacting us to tell us what you need to help financially disadvantaged children to make music
Private Schools
You can help us by:
Giving a gig eg by bucket collections at concerts of your own students
Making your facilities and staff available to support projects for financially disadvantaged young musicians
Playing your part as charitable organisations to ensure that all young people can experience the joy of music making
We believe that there is a big and largely missed opportunity for private and state schools to work together to help level the playing field a bit in music education. The Cheryl King Trust sees itself as a bridge to help make that happen.
We welcome any ideas from you about what your school can do to help more financially disadvantaged children to enjoy the same wonderful music opportunities that you offer.
All Teachers and Music Leaders
Whether you work in state or private schools you can help us by:
spreading the word about The Cheryl King Trust to your musical friends and colleagues
Contacting us to volunteer and to offer your expertise and ideas
Getting any amateur or professional ensembles or bands that you play in to give a gig for us
