Hello
I was at the Chippenham Area Board meeting last night and one of your team was there asking for a grant. She spoke to me after about the music lesson bursaries that we can provide for young musicians from lower income families. I said to look at our website or email our office (as she said she had looked on our website and could not see it.)
As I left I wondered if she had got us muddled with Wiltshire Music Centre at Bradford on Avon – a common mistake.
So, please could you pass on to her that we are Wiltshire Rural Music. Based in Trowbridge. info@wiltshireruralmusic.co.uk.
Very best
Rachael Holtom (funding consultant)
Thank you Rachael! It was a pleasure to meet you and speak to you. Best wishes, Tammy
