The Radford Charitable Trust Musician Grant

The Radford Charitable Trust has once again opened up funding for young musicians to receive music lessons in Cornwall during these trying times.

The Radford Charitable Trust (RTC) set aside some funds to help families facing hardship at the start of the Covid pandemic and this fund helped many families pay for a term of music lessons who otherwise might have had to stop for a while or even give up their vocal/instrumental lessons completely.

The RTC has very kindly agreed to allocate a further emergency grant to help families who may now be facing challenges due to the ever increasing cost of living. This will be a one off grant to pay for a term of 12 lessons.

CMST will be administering the funds, but the grant is available to any young person learning an instrument or having vocal lessons throughout Cornwall, either taught through CMST or having lessons with a private teacher.
