Our supporters

We are deeply grateful to the individuals, companies, organisations and charitable trusts who support our work. Their generosity transforms young lives through music.

We are a National Portfolio Organisation and National Youth Music Organisation, supported by the Arts Council of England.

Our Friends and Patrons are listed on this page and you can find the trusts and foundations who support NCO listed on our Trusts and foundations page.

We would like to acknowledge the generous legacy NCO kindly received in 2024 from the estate of Joyce Fretwell, who was a dedicated supporter of NCO for many years.

Our thanks go also to the Parents and Carers of the children in NCO, for their generosity.
