Donate to Lewisham Music, support our young musicians, and help us ensure that music is accessible to everyone in Lewisham (London).
We believe that music should be accessible to everyone, but opportunities for young people to engage in music are often uneven. Together, we can change that.
Your support will make a huge difference, allowing us to create and develop safe and accessible spaces, helping young people to reach their potential through music.
“Cost has always been the biggest barrier for us, you’ve changed this.”

Payroll Giving Scheme
Don’t forget to add Gift Aid to your donation, this means we receive an extra 25% on top of anything you donate! Gift Aid is a simple way for charities to increase the value of gifts of money received from UK taxpayers. When you make a Gift Aid donation, the charity is able to claim back the tax that you have paid on the donation. This government scheme is called Gift Aid and amounts to an extra 25p for every £1 that you give in qualifying donations.
