- Youth Music will fund non profit-making organisations committed to music-making activities for children and young people up to 18 (or up to 25 if they have special educational needs, disabilities or are in detention).
- Youth Music aims to support music making activities principally in out of school hours such as during weekends, holidays as well as in breakfast and after schools clubs.
- Youth Music understands that programmes may need to begin in school hours especially if the proposal involves encouraging first time participation in music.
- To help with this, Youth Music will consider applications for programmes where up to 25% of the time is spent in school hours. The proposed programme should aim to encourage children and young people to eventually make music outside of school hours.

Mountain Warehouse Outdoor Challenge
To enter the competition individuals have to be taking part in an outdoor challenge during 2013. This could be a sponsored walk, run, cycle, expedition or similar endeavour.
They are invited to share their story, which will be displayed on the Mountain Warehouse website, and the public will then vote for the winner.
Mark Neale, founder of Mountain Warehouse, said: "We are inundated with sponsorship requests and stories about people attempting these fantastic expeditions and challenges to raise money for charity. We wanted the opportunity to share their stories, get the public involved and give something back to these very worthwhile causes."
As well as offering a £5,000 prize to one charity, Mountain Warehouse is giving all entrants 20% off their next purchase at Mountain Warehouse, to help them prepare for their challenge.
