The MU Coronavirus Hardship Fund provides small grants for the urgent relief of musicians in genuine financial hardship.
Applicants that received an initial payment of £200 from the fund are being contacted and given the choice as to whether they need the additional top-up payment or not. If not, their proposed payment will remain in the fund to support other musicians in due course.
MU members who have not yet applied to the Coronavirus Hardship Fund are still able to apply for a £200 grant as and when they need it.
Thank you to PPL for their donations of £200,000 which have made this top-up payment possible.
