MRF CAMPAIGNS

Our campaigns aim to empower and support young people by providing them with training and education to help them succeed in the future.

KNIFE CRIME

Music Relief Foundation is dedicated to tackling knife crime. We deliver immersive and powerful education programmes in schools and communities. We also aim to engage young people in positive after-school activities to prevent them from becoming involved in criminal behaviour.

GIVE YOUTHS A VOICE

In November 2019, our ambassadors launched a social action campaign called Give Youths A Voice. The campaign used the power of music and film to explore knife crime, mental health problems, life as a young person today, living in Croydon, police encounters and stereotyping.

CHANGE CAMPAIGN

Through the Change Campaign, we aim to collaborate with local businesses and provide valuable training to young people aged 16–25 years to help them in their career and improve their employability skills.

MEET OUR YOUNG AMBASSADORS

Our ambassadors at More Than Able (MTA) are a dynamic team of volunteers aged 11–25 years. They work together to tackle youth barriers within society, engage with policymakers, support Music Relief Foundation (MRF) to represent the voices of young people and improve the disconnect and communication between young people and relevant stakeholders (e.g parents, teachers, communities and council representatives).

THE LORD NAPIER COMMUNITY MUSIC HUB

We could not have anticipated the growth and success that our Music School has had, and now we have outgrown our space. We are doing all we can; however, we are struggling to fit in new classes to accommodate beginners and have a growing waiting list. The space is just too small, with one activity room to run over 20 courses. Therefore, we are on a mission to move into Lord Napier, a former legendary jazz venue, and transform it into a music-community hub to serve our wider community.

DONATE

No matter how big or small the amount, all donations are welcome. Your contribution will go towards the growth of the Music School and the projects we are currently working on.
