Your Support Goes Twice as Far This Christmas!
We’re thrilled to announce that our match funding campaign is launching on Tuesday, 2nd December as part of the Big Give’s Christmas Challenge!
The campaign will contribute to NYJO’s First Time Jazz tours, bringing live jazz directly into schools through inspiring, interactive gigs led by young musicians. As part of our National Widening Access programme, these tours reach young people aged 11-16 in deprived areas, often offering their first ever live music experience.
Double Your Impact
From 2nd-9th December, every donation made to NYJO through our campaign page will be matched and doubled, up to our target of £10,000.
This means:
Your £10 becomes £20
Your £25 becomes £50
Your £50 becomes £100
If you’ve ever thought about investing in the future of jazz and transforming opportunities for young people who’ve been left behind, this is the week to do it—every pound you give goes twice as far!
What Your Donation Achieves
Your matched donation will help us:
Bring live jazz performances to more schools in deprived areas
Reach young people who have never experienced live music
Provide valuable training and performance opportunities for NYJO’s Emerging Professional musicians
Build confidence, creativity, and key skills in young people through jazz education
Building on Your Support
We’re phenomenally grateful for all the donations made during our March campaign earlier this year. Your generosity helped empower young people across the UK to discover their voices through jazz.
Now, in the run-up to Christmas, there has never been a better time to help us break down barriers and ensure that postcode doesn’t determine whether a young person gets to experience the transformative power of music.
How You Can Help
Mark your calendars: The campaign opens at 12pm on 2nd December and closes at 12pm on 9th December.
Stay connected: Follow our social media channels throughout the first week of December for campaign updates, inspiring stories from our young musicians, and ways you can spread the word.
Together, we can make this Christmas truly transformational for young people across the UK who deserve access to the confidence-building, horizon-expanding experience of live music.
Thank you for being part of the NYJO community.
