Our work is based on a great respect for musicians and the challenges that the profession presents. We start by listening to you and understanding your needs, because no two cases are ever the same.
We know that being a professional musician is tough. When things go wrong, money worries can quickly mount up. We provide help for people in a crisis, facing a long-term illness or disability, or coping with retirement.
You may be surprised by the sheer range of people we help, including emerging, practising and retired professionals from many backgrounds.
We are a vital lifeline for people facing a sudden illness, accident, emotional problem or other career crisis.
If an accident or illness means you can no longer work, or need long-term support to carry on working, we provide specialist help.
If you cannot afford an adequate standard of living and have unexpected needs or if you need help to continue living independently, we can help.
We are there for musicians until the end of their lives and provide help and support for surviving partners.

As every case is different, we find it helps to talk to people before making an application. Find out how the process works here.
“I am eternally grateful to Help Musicians UK for the unbelievable support they gave me during an enforced extended lay off due to injury. I simply couldn’t have done it without them.”
