NEW CORONAVIRUS BURSARY Scheme for Lessons

Durham Music Service has created a NEW BURSARY for families that are experiencing financial difficulties due to Coronavirus.

This bursary will pay for lessons for any pupil in the summer term to continue to learn with DMS. We are keen to support as many pupils as possible but we will have to ensure that the money is used to support those in most need at this time.

A huge thank you to those who have supported this bursary fund and acted so quickly to help Durham Music Service pupils including:

Should anyone wish to donate to this fund please visit our appeal page to make a donation.
