What we do
Coventry Music Trust, has been established to improve access and opportunities of the Children and Young people of Coventry. Through fundraising efforts we are looking to support projects such as:
- Music Groups and Ensembles
- Instrument Hire
- Personalised instrumental lessons
- Open Orchestras
- Choirs
We will be raising money at our Cultural Cantata events in order to support exciting new projects happening at Coventry Music.
If you would like to donate to the charity to support music in Coventry then get in touch. We would love to hear from you and have your support.

Projects we have helped to fund
We would like to give a big thank you to everyone who has attended our charity events and made generous donations to the trust. Your donations really do make a difference. Coventry Music lessons are very affordable, however for those in need this can still be a barrier to access. Even small donations can make a substantial difference, enabling access to those in challenging circumstances.
All the money raised will be used to support children across the city play and learn instruments, join our inclusive groups, and support them to perform at events across the year.
So far your donations have enabled us to:
- Buy 2 full samba sets to be used for whole class teaching and to support holiday and HAF programmes
- Buy equipment for our open orchestra programme
- Provide iPads to enable accessible learning at schools across the city
- Support the Positive Choices Programme
An after-school music-making program, working in partnership with Coventry Music Hub. The program aims to target students at risk of exclusion from education, at risk of gang violence, child exploitation or just having a difficult time in school.
