It has been announced that the Paul Hamlyn Foundation has awarded the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra a multi-million pound endowment to support music opportunities for children and young people across the Liverpool City region.

A £500,000 grant will also be used over 5 years to expand Liverpool Philharmonic's 'In Harmony' Youth Hubs into new areas of the city, enabling more local youngster to make music, learn an instrument, perform and improve their well being.

Largest in history

The gift marks the largest single gift ever received by the organisation in its 184 year history and signifies a targeted investment in the young people of Liverpool.

Michael Eakin, Chief Executive of Liverpool Philharmonic said: "This gift is recognition of the work we have done for the past 15 years, and a real vote of confidence in our organisation from one of the leading foundations supporting work in the arts to effect social change and to ensure young people, can realise their full potential."

Longstanding support

In response, Moira Sinclair, Chief Executive, Paul Hamlyn Foundation, said: "Our longstanding support of the Liverpool Philharmonic reflects our mutual interest in supporting young people to enjoy fulfilling and creative lives.
