Catherine Bowman is raising money for Friends & Volunteers of Sheffield Music Hub

We help with concerts and raise funds to pay for materials, music and events so that young musicians can play in music groups. We work closely in partnership with the Sheffield Music Hub.

Story

Thank you for visiting my page in support of Sheffield Music Hub. This is a great organisation offering so much to this city and region. Music has had a huge positive influence on me and my family and it would be great for more young people to be supported to get involved.

At Sheffield Music Hub, we believe music education should be for everyone—regardless of background or income. That’s why we offer bursaries to support children from low-income families, giving them access to our music groups all year round. For just £210, a child can attend as many groups as they like, which is actually really good value.

Our bursary programme costs £7,000 a year because we support so many young people from every corner of the city. Right now, our Friends & Volunteers fund every single bursary. But with rising costs and limited resources, that money will soon run out—and we never want to say no to a child who wants to make music.

Music bursaries are more than financial aid—they’re a lifeline. They nurture talent, build confidence, and open doors to opportunities that many families simply couldn’t afford. They ensure that no child is left behind.

To help keep this vital support going, I am running the Sheffield 10k! again to raise at least £210—the cost of one bursary. Wouldn’t it be incredible if they could raise £420 and fund two children?
