We are organisations with strategic interests in participatory arts, including community arts, socially-engaged arts, voluntary arts, and arts in education and learning. We come together as ArtWorks Alliance to help participatory arts in the UK become better.

The Music Education Council acts as a medium for bringing together in a working relationship those organisations and institutions in the United Kingdom involved in music education and music education training, thereby creating a common meeting ground and opportunities for the exchange of information and the promotion of joint or connected activities.

Thomas Deane Trust is a very small family-run grant-giving charity. By 2020 we will have invested in a small number of projects in the field of environment, community music, advice work and end of life care that we expect will make a difference.
