What is Make Music Swindon?
Make Music Swindon is the name for Swindon Music Education Hub. It’s the umbrella name that allows a number of partners to come together and work in partnership.
What should a Lead Organisation Do?
Swindon Music Service holds the agreement with the Arts Council England (ACE) for funding to meet a part of the Hub’s work in meeting the National Plan for Music Education. The Lead Organisation will ensure that the Hub meets the agreement set out in the Arts Council contract for funding
The Hub is led by Swindon Music Service, which is ultimately responsible for the funding received from the Department of Education via the Arts Council England, and the outcomes required. It works through a small team (that leads the Hub) and in partnership with schools and music education through a board of trustees, and network of partners.
