Our lobbying diary
Lobbying is one of the most important things Making Music does for its members. We meet regularly with Ministers and senior officials, and are constantly in touch with a number of external organisations informing them of the importance and significance of the voluntary music sector.
We are working to increase Making Music representation on national and regional strategic partnerships, consultation groups and Arts Councils to promote the interests of voluntary music throughout the UK.

The purpose of the meeting was to catch up on what each organisation was hoping to achieve for voluntary music in Wales, with a possible view to forming future partnership initiatives.
