Founded by the recorded music industry in 1989, The BRIT Trust works to promote diversity and inclusion in the UK by empowering people of all backgrounds through music and the creative arts. Funded largely by the annual BRIT Awards, and with a longstanding focus on supporting The BRIT School and Nordoff Robbins music therapy, The BRIT Trust makes donations to education and wellbeing charities that inspire young people to realise their full potential and life chances, whatever their abilities, ethnicity, gender and sexuality.
