Social Action Programme

Due to one of the Trustee’s great passion for music, we formed a partnership with Sistema England and The Nucleo Project in 2013 to support the transformational work they are doing using music to inspire, motivate and transform the lives of young people.

Sistema has many initiatives including the Young Leaders Programme bringing together the best musicians to form a national orchestra and choir, whilst developing life and leadership skills and becoming role models in their communities.

Please watch the video below and also visit their website to find out more about Sistema and their wonderful music programmes.

Future Funding

Having supported a broad range of inspiring and transformational projects over the Foundation’s 30 year history, the Trustees decided to embark upon a strategic review to ensure our grants were having the greatest impact. In 2020 we completed an intensive eight month programme led by Ten Years’ Time and we’re thrilled to be focussing all our efforts now on building Youth Power and Leadership with some fantastic partners.
