Beyondly Proudly Sponsors Craven Arts' Make More Music Project

We are delighted to announce that we have supported Craven Arts' ‘Make More Music’ project, contributing £4,000 through our Fund for Change Grant Giving Scheme.

At Beyondly, we believe in making a difference by donating a portion of our profits each year through

 our Fund for Change. Our vision is to create a better, fairer, and more sustainable world for all, and we can’t do it alone! Through our grant-giving process, we select charities that address vital environmental, social, and governance issues important to our stakeholders. Last year, we were thrilled to select Craven Arts as one of our chosen charities to help fund their ‘Make More Music’ project.

Craven Arts is dedicated to promoting and supporting the arts in the Craven area. Their "Make More Music" project, held at Craven Arts House in Skipton, offers a platform for young musicians from diverse backgrounds to come together. Participants have the opportunity to form a band, write their own songs, and produce and record their own music. The project aims to enhance their music-making skills, foster collaboration, and build their confidence, with the hope of ultimately empowering them to continue making music in the future.

The project includes the use of a music rehearsal room and recording studio, utilised during weekly sessions held for 10 weeks on Thursday evenings from 7pm to 9pm, starting on 24th April and running until 3rd July. The project will finish with a final performance on Saturday 21st June. We are delighted to support this project, which offers significant social benefits for our local community and enhances the well-being of young people through the arts.

"The Make More Music project will provide an opportunity for Craven Arts House to meet and showcase young musicians from across Craven. We want young people to know they are welcome at Craven Arts House, where we can support the development of their talents locally."

Selina McGonagle, Executive Lead at Craven Arts House

"We are thrilled to support local charities like Craven Arts through our Fund for Change with initiatives like ‘Make More Music’ that create a tangible impact in our community. We look forward to seeing the positive impact this project will have on all involved, and we can’t wait to hear the fabulous music that these talented young musicians will create!"
