I've raised £10000 to support The Rural Music Programme. The Running Violin and team will cross the UK (86 miles) from 26-29 May.... watch this space!

The Rural Music Programme exists to democratise music education. We believe that all children have the right to access high quality music education and great art.
The transformative power of music is a catalyst for social mobility; creating communities where every child can realise their potential, regardless of background or rural isolation.
Currently based at Eyke C of E Primary, we are raising funds to enable pupils and families in the rural state sector to access high quality music provision, delivered by specialists.
By providing quality music education, instruments, and opportunities; we use music to connect and uplift schools and communities, raising aspiration and enabling them to become models of excellence and agents for positive change in the world.
