Information about the Help Musicians’ Coronavirus Financial Hardship Fund 2022
Thanks to ACE and DCMS who have provided £650k of hardship funding, Help Musicians was able to extend hardship funding into 2022, making further payments to musicians facing financial hardship due to the disruption caused by Covid. The total amount of funds available will be at least £1m (Help Musicians will add £350k of its own funds into the pot), which will be distributed to musicians whose needs are greatest.
Applications closed at 23:59 GMT on 14 February 2022 and musicians will hear the outcome of their application by 28 February 2022 at the latest.
