Take it Away
Take it away is an Arts Council
initiative designed to help more people get involved in learning and
playing music. The scheme allows individuals to apply for a loan of
up to £2,000 for the purchase of any kind of musical instrument, and
pay it back in nine monthly instalments, completely interest free.
Take it away is open to everyone (over
the age of 18), but primarily designed to help those who might
otherwise be unable to afford an instrument appropriate for their
needs. Our priorities are:
-
to encourage
people to develop their interests and skills in music making
-
to inspire new players
of all ages to begin learning an instrument
-
to enable those on lower
incomes to acquire an instrument appropriate to their needs (or the
needs of their children)
Take it away is only available
through registered outlets. For more info please see

Centre Officer on 01242 237431.
