Do you believe that singing is for everyone?

Young people across the UK are being denied the life-changing benefit of singing because of chronic cuts. A 2025 report estimates 93% children are being excluded from arts and cultural education due to a lack of funding in state schools. 

These young people are already experiencing the impact of lost learning from the pandemic and the cost of living crisis. They don't see singing as something that's for them - but you can change that

Singing makes me feel amazing. As someone who loves music but does not have many opportunities at school, I have tried to soak up as much as I can during my time with NYC.

I am extremely grateful that I could take part thanks to generous donations.

Every year, kind supporters like you donate to our Big Give Christmas Appeal to give the gift of singing. This year, we are aiming to raise £60,000 in just seven days. This will allow us to deliver free regional singing workshops and provide course bursaries for disadvantaged young singers who would otherwise miss out.

For a limited time, you have the opportunity to help young people across the UK discover the life-changing benefits of singing. Between midday on 2nd and 9th December, every donation will be doubled by through the Big Give - meaning your donation has twice the impact!

Singing together changes lives. With your help, we can give the gift of singing to more young people in 2026!
