We recognise that many UK communities, including the rock and metal community, don’t always have access to quality education that meets the diverse needs of children and young people.

We understand that UK communities, particularly the rock and metal community, often suffer from poor physical and mental health, and experience disadvantages from inequalities including race, gender, disability, gender identity, and sexuality.

We focus on three goals

Our funding themes align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs). The UNSDGs were adopted by all United Nations member states in 2015 and are a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for the people and the planet.

We want to progress three of these goals for an equal society:

GOOD HEALTH & WELL-BEING

QUALITY EDUCATION

REDUCED INEQUALITIES

Through these goals, we support innovative new ideas and existing projects using music and the values of our community to create real impact for the rock, metal and wider community across the UK.
