Tomorrow’s Warriors are looking to raise £100,000 in their appeal #IAMWARRIOR via Go Fund Me which will be matchfunded by additional contributions from a range of trusts and foundations. The appeal is to keep its Learning Programme free for the next generation of UK Jazz musicians.

Janine Irons MBE, co-founder and CEO of Tomorrow’s Warriors says: “The pandemic has presented a number of challenges that we absolutely must overcome. Throughout lockdown we have provided much needed continuity to our young people via virtual learning sessions, keeping them supported and in continual development of their skills. But we lost 112 confirmed live gigs between March and September 2020 alone, wiping out 100 per cent of a vital income stream needed to keep our engines running and to continue providing the unique and extensive support to young jazz musicians who are so under-represented in the scene. We want to continue providing the necessary support to young people, then hit the ground running and resume our hugely trusted and respected Learning and Events Programme when it is safe to do so, but we need your support to survive this crisis.”
