Help Musicians UK (HMUK) is the leading independent music charity in the UK. Since 1921, HMUK has provided help, support and opportunities to empower musicians at all stages of their lives.

HMUK’s mission is to create a sustainable future for all musicians and the industry. The charity works in partnership to transform the music industry through advocacy, campaigning, solutions and targeted investment for all those within it.

In November 2016, the charity launched Help Musicians Northern Ireland (HMNI), its first regional operation based in Belfast’s Oh Yeah Centre. HMNI aims to bring together artists, music industry bodies and the wider community and has set out to address the ever-changing needs of the industry within the region, and to support local emerging talent.
