What is Youth Music?
Set up in 1999, Youth Music is the UK’s largest children’s music charity. It promotes music opportunities for young people, working with formal and community-based sectors to support music making.

Youth Music currently manages the Music Mentors programme, a part of the Government's Respect agenda, and a Young Ambassadors Programme to ensure young people have a say in music education.
