In this episode of Music, Learning, Conversation, we chat to Polly Moore, the Chief Executive of Restore the Music UK. As a leading charity in its field, Restore the Music funds music provision to state schools in areas of high deprivation, delivering grant programmes that offer all young people an alternative future to the norm.
The charity has grown rapidly from its London roots over the past 5 years and is now working with schools in London, Birmingham, Manchester and Newcastle upon Tyne. It is constantly looking at new opportunities to both extend the connectivity and network to ensure maximum impact & value added solutions to the issues facing today's young people.
In our conversation, Polly chats about her own background in music and business and how this has motivated her in her current work in the charitable sector. The impact of the charity's work on schools - their staff and students - is discussed. Polly's choice of music is an original composition from a winner from the Restore the Music Battle of the Bands, from Oasis Academy Shirley Park in Croydon.
