Support from our charity

Our linked Charity, Friends of Lancashire County Ensembles (FLCE), will be offering bursaries to provide some financial support to young people in Lancashire who show an interest in or talent for music, in situations where their parent or carer’s financial circumstances might not be able to meet the full cost of the activity.  The fund can provide a contribution towards these costs.

Awards are made to young people aged up to their 19th birthday who either live or are educated in the administrative county of Lancashire (excluding Blackpool and Blackburn and Darwen). The funding can be used towards the cost of lessons and musical activities organised by Lancashire Music Service, contribution towards the purchase of musical instruments, contribution towards the cost of an auditions for music courses at university or conservatoire, contribution towards attendance at courses, tours, workshops, concerts or other relevant events or groups, including transport costs.

The application is made by a parents or carer filling in an online form and you will need a teacher or music leader to fill in another form in support of your application. Applications are anonymised and assessed by a panel of FLCE Trustees once per term.

For further information, details of the next deadline and how to apply please email rachel.hughes@lancashire.gov.uk
