What a night 🎉
A HUGE thank you to everyone who joined us for Gala 2026 and supported the mission so generously. From the performances to the fundraising, the energy in the room was incredible — and the impact will be felt in schools across the UK.
Safe to say… this one will be hard to top 💥

Support for our vision is growing fast, all thanks to you! 🙌
Equipping school music departments in underserved communities creates a reason for kids to want to go to school.
Music makes us feel HAPPY.
A happy child is an ENGAGED child.
An engaged child will reach higher attainment than their peers – and with that comes wide-ranging access to future pathways.
Music works. Let’s use it & together change 1,000x more futures.
Thank you to everyone who supports our mission, backs our vision and helps us make it happen 🎶

Music education doesn’t just sound good — it transforms how young people learn.
