The Sarah Nulty Power of Music Foundation has some exciting developments they want to let the people of Sheffield know about...
Firstly - do you want to win Tramlines Festival tickets for the whole three days? Of course you do! The foundation has two tickets up for grabs as part of their 2023 Tramlines Charity T-Shirt design competition. Budding artists are being invited to create a one off new design which will go on sale at Tramlines alongside their existing merchandise. You’ve all seen the Be More Nulty heart logo designed by local artist Tom J Newell, right? Imagine seeing your design up there alongside it!
You have complete creative freedom, the only stipulation is to include either "Be More Nulty" or "The Sarah Nulty Power of Music Foundation" in your design. The charity encourages entries from everyone so don’t be put off if you’re not quite Tate Gallery ready! All profits from sales will go towards the foundation, raising money to support people in Sheffield through the power of music. So get creative, help out a local charity, and win!

Deadline 15th June 2023.
The charity is also proud to announce that they can now offer grants of up to £2000. If you don’t already know, The Sarah Nulty Power of Music Foundation provides funding to support individuals and organisations in Sheffield, who through music, make a positive difference to the lives of local people. Until now, grants have been limited to £500, so the new, larger grants are a significant step forward in the level of funding that the charity is able to provide.
Chair of Trustees, Julie Voisey, says “By being able to provide larger grants, we hope that individuals or organisations with a vision they feel might be a bit too financially draining or out of reach, can now access that chunk of funding they need in order to realise their idea or project. We really hope that by offering this extra level of funding, more local people can be reached, and helped, by the transformative power of music”.
Sheffield Music School has already been a recipient of one of the new grants. The funding has been used to start a new project via its Tracks programme, “A Place Called Home”. The project runs weekly and invites Ukrainian refugees aged 12-16 to take part in music classes, workshops and lessons. The great feedback so far - “Dima was so impressed and excited! It’s amazing! Thank you so much for this opportunity!” - is testament to what can be achieved by having access to a larger funding pot.
The larger grants are limited and are offered on a quarterly basis. The first round is open now until 30th June 2023. The smaller £500 grants continue to be available on a year round rolling basis.
