The Sidney Lawton Trust is a charity set up to provide grants for students to access music lessons who otherwise would not be able to due to financial considerations. The Trust accepts applications from any student at Queen's and over the years it has enabled dozens of students to learn and progress in their musical studies. All that is asked for in return is a positive and active contribution to the musical life of Queen's. Any donations that are gratefully received go straight into the Trust's funds to continue this vital and exceptional work.
