Welcome to Music Relief Foundation
Music Relief Foundation (MRF) is a music charity that provides relief and creates opportunities through the power of music for children, young people, and adults from underserved communities. Through accessible and affordable music education, mentoring, wellbeing support, and personal development programmes, we help people build confidence, develop new skills, fulfil their potential, and become active contributors to their communities.
About Music Relief Foundation (MRF)
The Music Relief Foundation (MRF) was founded in 2011 by Magdalene Usikaro FRSA. It was registered as a Company Limited by Guarantee in January 2015 and finally received charity status in October 2019. The charity was inspired by Magdalene’s first-hand experience of the hardships, isolation and challenges faced as a teenage parent.
