ALRESFORD Music Festival has set up a registered charity called the ‘AMF Foundation’ which has been founded to support musically-based charities working to improve the lives of those who need it most.

Scheduled to take place on Saturday, June 10, at Arlebury Park, the charities supported by this year’s event will include Winnall Rock School, to provide free music tuition and band workshops as well as bespoke or outreach programmes for aspiring musicians who would not otherwise have access to tuition or who need additional support.

Other beneficiaries are Key Changes, which delivers award-winning music engagement and recovery services in hospitals and the community for people experiencing mental health problems, and Harmony of Hope, dedicated to bringing the healing power of music to improve the lives of refugees affected by conflict.
