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?

Many thanks for visiting and donating. Music is for everyone!
