Free and Reduced Membership

It's important to us that people can enjoy making music regardless of their financial situation. To help us achieve this goal, we offer free and reduced places.

Below, we’ve advertised our suggested reduced rates. If you can pay something, but the suggested rates would not be affordable, you can let us know when you apply. Every penny you can contribute really helps us to keep our groups running if you are able!

If you will need free or reduced membership you can also let us know via the application form at the bottom of this page.

  • The simple application form asks for your name, email address and which group(s) you would like to attend. It also asks you to explain briefly why you need a Free or Reduced Place. If you apply for a Free Place you’ll have an opportunity to upload evidence of your low income (but this is not required). You’ll also be asked if you are happy to take part in a Case Study or additional research in return for a Free Place (but this is also not required). 

  • You are always in control of your payments. You can contact rosie@misfitsmusic.org.uk for help at any time. 

  • Your sub payments are vital for running all our sessions and events. They go towards the costs of our professional music leaders, creating musical arrangements and resources, putting on concerts and performance opportunities and more. They also go towards the running costs of our charity, ensuring that we can continue to deliver fantastic musical opportunities to as many people as possible.
