World Heart Beat Music Academy is a ‘musical family’. It is a beautiful, inspiring place in south west London, where children and young people aged 5 – 25 years, of all socio- economic and cultural backgrounds, can play music. It is an all-encapsulating place to go after school, at weekends, and during the holidays for lessons, workshops, practice facilities, and to play together in a range of bands and ensembles. The academy is situated adjacent to some of the poorest housing estates in the country.

Keep the Music Playing

Help us keep the lights on, the doors open, and the musicians paid!

World Heart Beat is an Arts Council National Portfolio Organisation in recognition of the quality of work we do with diverse children, young people and communities. However, this forms just 4% of our annual income.

We generate income for our work from a range of sources; however, we still need to fundraise a significant proportion each year. Often fundraised income is specific to special projects and initiatives. Unrestricted gifts are so important – enabling us to spend funds where they are needed the most and helping us to keep doing our crucial work.

Please consider giving monthly. Continuity of support is so valuable to us as a charity.

Naming a seat is a valuable way to support us. A seat inscribed with your name, a loved one’s name, your business, or in memoriam, creates a lasting legacy. Naming a seat makes an ideal present for Christmas, a birthday or anniversary, or other special occasions. Standard seats are £1000 and Balcony seats are £5000
