Cumbria Youth Brass Band is run in partnership with Cumbria’s brass bands. Meetings take place at different band rooms around Cumbria. Thanks to a team of loyal supporters and volunteers we bring young people from across Cumbria together to learn and collaborate on their musical journey.

Musical education is vital for children as it enhances cognitive development, improves memory, and fosters creativity. Learning music encourages discipline, teamwork, and emotional expression, contributing to well-rounded personal growth. It also helps children build confidence and communication skills, preparing them for success in various aspects of life.

We are currently seeking sponsorship from businesses and individuals to help us continue providing valuable musical opportunities to young people across Cumbria.

In todays society, funding for musical education in schools has been cut so dramatically that many children are not given the chance to learn at all. We are trying to change that by making sure music is accessible to every child. With Cumbria being such a vast county with communities separated by many miles, the youth brass band aims to overcome this hurdle by taking music out to those communities and often provides transport over long distances so young players can attend these valuable rehearsals.

By sponsoring the band, businesses invest not only in the artistic development of future generations but also in their own communities. Supporting young musicians promotes a positive brand image, demonstrates corporate social responsibility, and creates opportunities to engage with families and local culture.

There are three levels of sponsorship.
