Spotify and Youth Music Announce New Fund for Grassroots Music Spaces

Spotify and Youth Music have teamed up to launch a dedicated fund aimed at supporting grassroots music spaces across the UK. This initiative will provide essential resources to 15 venues that offer young creatives a platform to explore their talents, collaborate with peers, and pursue their artistic ambitions, especially in underserved communities.

The fund will support a variety of projects, including a youth-led studio in a remote coastal town, a band project for disabled young people, and a music project to promote inclusion for minoritized women and people of marginalized genders. "These spaces are the heart of local communities, giving young people a place to feel connected, inspired, and empowered," said Matt Griffiths, CEO of Youth Music.

Stay tuned for more updates on how this partnership will help secure the future of these vital community assets and protect the talent pipeline.
