About Us | Made with Music

About the Charity

Made with Music is an award-winning charity providing accessible live music for families of all ages and abilities through mini gigs, workshops, performances, classes and more.

Hannah and Kathryn founded Made with Music in 2012 when they couldn't find any classes featuring live music to take their young children to. As trained musicians and workshop leaders, they set up classes for their friends to come to and the organisation grew from there. Made with Music operates on the social model of disability. This looks at how we can adapt our working environment and society as a whole, to accommodate the needs of those we work with, rather than expecting disabled people to overcome barriers. You can find out more about the social model of disability here.

Made with Music has always operated on a not-for-profit basis, providing access to music for a range of organisations and individuals. We became a charity in 2018 with a board of trustees who oversee our programme of work and the musicians who work with us to deliver many different musical opportunities.

Access is at the heart of everything we do. We can support your organisation through access consultancy or by helping with the development of accessible resources.
