MUSIC IS THE KEY

For AMBER's children,
music is not just a pastime 

– it’s a lifeline  

The AMBER Trust was set up to bring hope and fulfilment to blind
and partially sighted children who have a talent or a love for music.

For these children, many of whom have other disabilities, music has
a significant impact. It not only gives them great joy, it also encourages
them to learn, boosts their confidence, and helps them to share their
thoughts and feelings, opening up a world of freedom, independence
and hope for the future – a lifeline in a confusing world.

AMBER's vital work is needed more than
ever today, as over half the families in
the UK with a disabled child live in
real poverty.

This means that many of the 24,000
blind or partially sighted children who
have a real flair for music cannot afford
to buy a musical instrument or have the
music or therapy lessons, which would
make such a difference to their lives.

In order to address this, we have set up The AMBER Music Awards
