Come to our latest Climate change network event – hear some inspiring speakers and come away with some useful tools for your music group to consider.

Twice a year, music groups gather in these online Climate change networks to be inspired and to share tips, tools and resources to help them make their own groups more environmentally sustainable and also to influence their group members, their families and friends, and audiences.

You may never have considered becoming a trustee and may not know much about what it involves: find out more at this event about how your skills and experience could help Making Music and what you would be expected to do.

Making Music is a charity and 9 of its (maximum 14) trustees are elected by and from the membership. They are ultimately responsible for the charity and help set the strategic direction of Making Music and oversee its work.  

Many leisure-time music groups want to be more accessible and inclusive, for a whole range of reasons. But when your volunteers’ time is short, and you have a busy programme to deliver, it can seem like too big a task to tackle. At this event we’ll look at how creating an action plan can identify what will work to include a wider diversity of people in your group, and drive the positive change you’re looking for.  

Music groups often start as small and informal, but as they become well established a formal structure can be beneficial. It can help when applying for funding, provide liability protection for your members, establish clear leadership roles and provide long-term sustainability.

This event will look at the options available including; unincorporated associations, Charities, Community Interest Companies and limited companies, and outline how each one impacts your group’s finances and governance

Your Making music membership offers a wealth of benefits. They are designed to support you running your music group, to save time, effort and money, as well as offer ideas and inspiration.

But are you making the most of your membership? In this event we will explain what you have access to - and how we can help.
