When someone we love dies, our fondest memories of them are often musical: their favourite songs, or fun times we’ve shared at gigs and festivals. Music can help us get through the toughest of times.
By creating a Youth Music memorial fund in honour of a loved one, you can help break down barriers and support young people to get started in music. There are several options listed below.
Celebrate a life and change lives.
Much Loved
This site helps you create your own personalised online tribute in memory of someone. Features include photos and personalised slide shows, virtual candles and customised playlists.
JustGiving
A platform where you can fundraise or donate to Youth Music. Setting up a page only takes a few minutes - or if you’d prefer, you can donate directly without a dedicated fundraising page.
Through our website
A simple process which allows you to donate using either a credit/debit card or PayPal. You can mention that you are donating in memory of someone in the ‘Why are you donating to Youth Music?’ dropdown section.
