RAH Crowdfunder success

Our successful Crowdfunder campaign enabled us to provide over 200 bursary tickets to our Royal Albert Hall concert.

This provided access for parents to watch their children perform, and create invaluable memories, who may otherwise not have been able to attend.

Thank you to everyone who donated to our Crowdfunder.

If you would like to continue to support TEMPO Fund you can make a one-off donation or sign up to be a regular giver by following the link below.

The 1991 campaign

Whether you choose to make a one-off gift or become a regular donor through our 1991 Campaign, every contribution helps us nurture the next generation of musicians in Merton.

Named after the year MMF was founded, the 1991 Campaign invites you to become a regular supporter of the TEMPO Fund – helping to break down financial and social barriers to music-making for historically underrepresented and marginalised groups.

• £5 a month could cover the cost of instrument hire, giving a child the chance to practise at home.

• £19.91 a month could fully subsidise a weekly 30-minute lesson for a whole term – a life-changing opportunity for a young musician.

Your generosity helps us continue offering these vital programmes, reaching those who need them most. However you choose to give, you’re making a real and lasting impact on the future of music education in our community.

Thank you for helping us Move Music Forward.
