Play it forward

25 nov - 25 dec

We’re raising funds for 25 more children on free school meals in Manchester to join us in 2025 - and we’ve got 25 days to do it.

Taking place from 25 November - 25 December, Play It Forward aims to raise a minimum of £13,000 to fund a year of free one-to-one instrumental lessons for children on free school meals in Manchester.

 

If we reach £21,500, we can also fund all their instruments, repairs, books/exams, as well as all other cultural and musical activity they enjoy through Olympias, including choirs, special events and termly concerts.​

​

You can donate, share our messages, get your business involved, or if you’re a musician get involved with our social busking online.​

​

Please donate or get involved today to ensure that the gift and joy that music brings really is accessible for all children in Manchester!​

Are you a musician or performer?

Join our social buskers and make some noise online for #OlympiasPlayItForward.

Do you play an instrument or perform? Do you think all children in Manchester should have the opportunity to learn and own an instrument, regardless of their background?

​

The idea is simple. Share a short performance online with a link to donate, then you can nominate another musician to do the same.
