Campaigns and consultations

Campaigns are co-ordinated action plans – in the short, medium or long term - where Making Music works with members and others to respond as a strong collective voice on an issue. See what campaigns are active now and what Making Music has done in the past.

Consultations happen because governments and other bodies are looking for views on a particular strategy or new legislation; or because Making Music is asking for your input on an issue, in order to plan a campaign or respond to a consultation as a representative body.
