A further £500,000 contribution to support the profession during the COVID-19 crisis

In response to the continuing challenges posed by COVID-19, RSM has released a second £500,000 to help those suffering financial hardship as a direct result of the pandemic. Aimed primarily at those who have slipped through the net of Government support schemes, these funds are being distributed by Help Musicians UK (HMUK) as part of their Coronavirus Financial Hardship Fund. The fund is now open and all applications must be submitted directly to HMUK.

Our partnership with HMUK enables RSM to focus on our one core aim of providing vital support to those whose lives have been affected by accident or illness.

RSM provides help in many ways. We fund physical and emotional therapies, referrals to specialised practitioners and associated treatments. We also help those needing support on a more long-term basis or during retirement years. This may include provision of home adaptations or living expenses.

If you, or someone you know needs our help, please get in touch – [email protected] / 020 7629 6137

For more information about the Coronavirus Fund, please contact HMUK. This funding is in addition to the initial £500,000 RSM contributed in March.
