The schools music charity Restore The Music (RTM) has announced Lady Ella Windsor as its new patron.
It has also announced £160k in new funding to ten state schools across London, Birmingham, Manchester and Newcastle. This will contribute towards resourcing challenged music departments, with a reach of over 8,000 students, enabling them to access nearly 1,000 instruments and other equipment.
RTM was founded in 2013 with the aim of providing targeted support to help bridge the gap in music provision at some of the most underserved state schools in four of the UK’s cities. Its awards – which are expressly for the purpose of rebuilding music departments and enabling access to music for all students – provide up to £20,000 for primary and secondary schools in areas of high socio-economic deprivation. It has so far awarded over £2.7 million across over 160 state schools, reaching more than 100,000 students aged 4–18.
