We would love you to use your platforms, networks and channels to raise awareness and amplify the charity’s mission to create a world where musicians thrive. We’re here to help – just let us know if we can provide any materials to support your kind efforts.

This can be done by:

• Join us at events: Attending or participating in events or panels to amplify awareness

• Connect us to your network: Invite us to share our cause, work and impact with your colleagues or networks at events or staff socials

• Community engagement: Speak at community events, schools, or clubs about the charity and its impact

• Display our information: Help colleagues or your networks understand more about us, or access our services, by displaying our information

• Create dedicated campaigns: Develop specific campaigns within your industry or organisation to support fundraising or awareness efforts

• Keep in touch: Our work and services are constantly evolving to meet the needs of musicians; we would love your consent to keep in touch with ideas and opportunities in future

If you work in music and think you could offer guidance to a musician, then you may want to consider joining Co-Pilot, which creates mentoring partnerships between together musicians and industry professionals.

Each musician’s path is unique, with many decisions to be made during their creative and professional journey; mentoring can play a life-changing role in offering individualised support at a key point in their career.

Raising funds for us is a way to make a real impact on the lives of musicians across the country. However you want to fundraise, every penny you raise going directly to musicians in need — that’s our 100% pledge.

From open mic nights to coffee mornings or scaling great heights, we are here to help you fundraise for us in whichever way is best for you.

Anyone over the age of 18 who wants to support Help Musicians can sign up to volunteer to help at our events.

You would be helping us at industry conferences, festivals or Help Musicians events.

Our team will co-ordinate roles for volunteers for each event. Tasks range from helping to set up, ushering people to seats, collecting donations, handing out leaflets and chatting to people about the work we do.

This depends on the type of event, so could be anything from a few hours to a full day.

Our team will reach out to volunteers ahead of our events with details of what we need to see who would be available.

There is no expectation for you to agree to volunteer at any given event — we appreciate that people will often have likely have other commitments.

Yes — you will be entitled to reasonable travel and food expenses.

Details of how to do this will be shared ahead of the event.

Simply add your details in the form above to express your interest.

Once you get in touch we will take the time to have a meeting or call with you to discuss how you can help.
