The Power of Music Fund

Dementia choirs, singing groups, and other initiatives supporting both people living with dementia and their carers through music will be able to apply for multi-year grants of either £1,000 or £2,000 per year.

There will also be one larger grant of £500,000 for a Centre of Excellence.

We have now distributed a total of £610,599 to grantees of the Paul & Nick Harvey Fund. A first round of grants, made in May 2020, went to 27 organisations who each received a share of £500,000, donated by The Hunter Foundation.

MUSIC AND DEMENTIA

The Utley Foundation is spearheading a nationwide campaign to make music available for everyone living with Dementia.

Veteran Charity

VETERANS

The Foundation is committed to working with existing veteran charities alongside exciting new initiatives to increase the support to and employability of ex service people. The Foundation is particularly interested in supporting the mental health, wellbeing and employable skills development of veterans as they leave the forces.

Children Charity

CHILDREN

The Foundation has dedicated a considerable amount of their resource to supporting children’s charities since it’s inception and it continues to be a focus area of the trustees. Support for charities benefiting under-privilege, disabled and ill children at home and abroad remains a key priority for the foundation as it moves forward.
