Grant: £250
Deadline: 30th Apr 2026
The Concertina Charitable Trust provides small grants of up to £250 to UK‑registered charities that use music-related activities to support older people. Eligible organisations include charities working in care homes, day centres, and community settings, with a focus on improving wellbeing and reducing loneliness among older adults.
The trust prioritises projects involving live music, such as performances, participatory workshops, or other musical engagement activities. Funding must be used for project-specific costs and cannot be applied to ongoing core expenses or general operational overheads.
Applications are assessed twice annually, with upcoming deadlines on 30 April 2026 and 31 October 2026. This makes the fund particularly suitable for small-scale, community‑based musical initiatives that can benefit from modest but targeted financial support.
