Do you run a course, have an organ business, provide access to a practice organ, offer organ lessons – or have anything else organ related to share with others? If so, please drop me a message so I can share it with users here, free of charge.

The Organists Charitable Trust are there to help you – Are you an organist (or an organist’s partner)? Is your life taking alarmingly unpredictable turns? Is your health erratic? Are your finances out of control? The Organists Charitable Trust is here to help with grants to organists in distress. (Theatre organists, synagogue organists, town hall organists, as well as church organists.) We can assist with grants and advice, whether you are a student, a self-employed musician or somebody who has been retired for years. Find application details on our website, or send a letter to The Grants Officer, Organists Charitable Trust, 26 Fitzroy Square, London W1T 6BT.

Eric Thompson Trust awards grants towards further studies, hire of instruments, travel and subsistence for auditions and engagements and other expenses incurred in the pursuit of an organist’s career. Preference is given to students seeking assistance towards specific projects rather than continuing academic tuition, such as summer schools, special lessons in addition to normal studies, opportunities to play historic instruments in the context of further study and, in certain instances, travel costs for auditions. Grants are normally limited to a contribution towards such costs. Applications should be in by 30 April.
