You'll also fundraise from statutory sources for musical programmes with the power to change lives, working side-by-side with NHS trusts and primary care, supporting community participants with mental and physical health.

Trusts and foundations income is in There's real growth potential when it comes to statutory income too. So, this is all about maximising opportunities and working innovatively to explore new relationships and introduce funders to the organisation's work.

Question: Working closely with the artistic team, what new funding opportunities might be accessible if together you can demonstrate the life-changing impact on young people, or people living with mental and physical health challenges?
