Help Musicians’ Fast Track Award offers up to £500 to help musicians seize career-enhancing opportunities—whether it’s a short course, new software, or recording, releasing, or performing.
The funding is designed to support activities that can grow or sustain your income from music or help you take part in something impactful for your career. Applications are assessed based on opportunity, need, and long-term impact.
Eligible applicants must be UK-based musicians aged 18 or over, earning at least 40% of their income from music in the past two years (or some income if living with a long-term health condition or disability). You must have under £10,000 in savings, be able to deliver your project within 12 months, and have control over aspects of your career such as self-management or self-production. Full eligibility and application guidance are available online.
This fund has several rounds/deadlines each year.
