I owe National Youth Choir so much in terms of musical education and inspiration from my time as a member, and because my later (and equally enjoyable!) time on the staff gave me an understanding of just how much there is to support behind the scenes... Even the biggest musical institutions are vulnerable - and that those with dedicated supporters are the ones that endure. 

Both of my children have been in National Youth Choir and I know how much they have benefitted from the experience as a whole, from the excellent musical education and from the chance to spend time with other talented singers. I want children and young people, regardless of their background, to have the opportunity to have these same experiences.
