Impact report

Since our beginnings in 1978, when NCO was founded by Vivienne Price MBE, we have believed in the incredible capacity for children and young people to connect and thrive through playing music together.
It is our ambition to be known for inspiring children UK wide, with a vibrant music community of youth music programmes that nurture potential and open doors.
Discover the impact NCO had last year in our 2024 Impact Report.
