Donate Now
There are many ways you can help Coda deliver its unique music service to the local community. Alternatively, you may wish to support us in a one-off project such as raising funds to replace worn equipment – with over 18,000 student lessons being delivered every year we do suffer considerable wear and tear.
With no regular grant funding to help us cover our running costs, our fee-paying students and funds raised for specific purposes have to help us meet our overheads. So we are very heavily reliant therefore on the goodwill of the community to help us provide our unique music therapy service for disabled children, young people and adults that is so highly valued in the local area.
Thank you for choosing to support Coda Music. All donations are very gratefully received and invested wisely to maintain, improve and extend our excellent standards both at the Centre and out in the community.

Gift Aid is a way to give money tax free to charity. If you pay income tax, Coda Music can claim back a further 28p for every £1 you donate from the Inland Revenue on any amount that you choose to give. Simply sign a Gift Aid Declaration and we will collect the income tax you have paid on your donation to invest further in our community services.

Helping raise funds in your local community
Wherever you live there are lots of ways to raise funds towards our Music Therapy service which helps disabled people learn and communicate in so many new ways, and to our bursary fund to help individuals and families wishing to learn and make music and who do not always have the resources to do so.
Here are some ways you could help:
Fundraising events
- You could make Coda Music the beneficiary charity of a local fundraising event like a pub quiz, or a fete, or a concert, or a raffle or other event.
- You could help us set up a special one-off event - like a sponsored walk or a sponsored music marathon – or even a special ‘dinner’.
- You might be able to help us liaise with local businesses and companies and help us to negotiate some specific sponsorship from them for key aspects of Coda Music’s work.
- Or – you might know a company or business that would be willing to donate time or resources to us ‘in kind’. There may even be scope for us to work with a volunteer in more depth around the whole concept of business relationship development – do get in touch with Coda Music if you might be interested.
