Why We’re Raising Funds

Grooveschool is a grassroots charity dedicated to opening up the world of DJing, music production, and podcasting to everyone – regardless of age, ability, or background.

We work especially with those often excluded from creative opportunities, including neurodivergent young people, those facing mental health challenges, and communities on the fringes of society.

Your donation will help us:

- Run free & low-cost DJ and music tech workshops

- Provide 1-to-1 mentoring for young people

- Deliver outreach in schools & youth hubs

- Invest in mobile equipment so we can take Grooveschool everywhere it’s needed
