The Ronnie Scott’s Charitable Foundation is a non-profit organisation dedicated to the support of jazz and music education in the U.K and beyond. Launched in December 2015, the charity’s aim is to ensure that music education is accessible to every child and young person. By raising and distributing funds, gifting musical instruments, and working with other organisations to create and develop youth music education programmes, the charity has benefitted thousands of school children in cities across the country and around the world.
Ada Ologbosere, Head of the Ronnie Scott's Foundation, says: “We are delighted to bring this initiative back for another year, revitalising instruments and providing young people in underserved communities the opportunity to develop their skills and realise their potential. We recognise the profound impact this has on children. This event underscores our unwavering commitment to nurturing the next generation of musical talent.”
Donors can deliver their instruments to the club on the day of the amnesty. Each instrument will be carefully inspected and assigned a unique tracking number, enabling donors to follow its journey to its final destination, whether in the UK or abroad.
