BIG GIVE CAMPAIGN
THANK YOU!
YOUR AMAZING SUPPORT MEANS WE EXCEEDED OUR TARGET AND RAISED £22,260 INCLUDING GIFT AID IN OUR 2026 BIG GIVE ARTS FOR IMPACT CAMPAIGN.
A huge thank you to everyone who supported our campaign. These funds will make a real difference—helping children and young people with disabilities at OK Music School to achieve more than anyone thought possible, as they experience the joy of learning and performing music.
OK Music School is teaching 80 children and young people with disabilities to play a musical instrument or sing and perform in public concerts. Children and young people with disabilities are often excluded from mainstream activities, including music, despite many responding postitively to it, which can lead to isolation, stigma and low self-esteem.
At OK Music School pupils receive 1-1 music lessons with music therapists or specialist teachers, enabling them to learn to play an instrument and express themselves through music. Pupils perfrom in 4 annual concerts, increasing representation in the community. They gain communication and socialisation skills along with confidence and pride and make friends. 28 pupils have passed 60 music exams and several aspire to a career in music.
