Our Coronavirus Hardship Fund has been in successful operation for a week now. In that time our staff have processed thousands of successful applications, helping musicians in their time of need.

Any members in these categories who have already applied for a grant and been unsuccessful will be contacted in due course and will then receive a £200 grant payment.

The form has been updated to reflect the new, extended eligibility criteria. Find out more about the MU Coronavirus Hardship Fund and how to apply.
