The Rushworth Trust (Registered Charity no. 1076702)
The aim of the Trust is to further musical activities and education in the Liverpool area (within a radius of 60 miles of Liverpool Town Hall). Funds available are modest, and grants do not normally exceed £500 for individuals or £1,000 for organisations. Awards are not usually repeated for a second or further year. Any donations received will be used to fund extra grants.
The Trustees consider applications for grants to individuals such as:
- Composers: assistance for publication, copying of material or performance
- Young conductors: assistance for study, practical work or apprenticeship
- Young performers: assistance for specialised training, for promoting a first appearance or towards the purchase of instruments
- Student singers and instrumentalists: assistance for coaching for a scholarship, for maintenance for specialised study (but not towards the course fees or maintenance costs of higher education)
And to Choirs and Choral singers for:
- Training, concerts, special trips or visits
- Other special needs associated with musical events and organisations whose aims or purposes are charitable
