Support Sounds Between CIC
Right now every £1 you spend with us is matched with another £1, until July 2027.
Buy a supporter ticketYou do not need to come to the event. Your ticket still counts.
£5 becomes £10. Ten of those pays for our banner.
£10 becomes £20. Thirty buys a camera kit, so every artist we programme leaves with professional photos and video of their set.
£20 becomes £40. One hour of booking, planning and chasing funding, paid at the industry standard rate rather than done for free.
Sounds Between is a South East London music organisation. We started in 2022 working with refugee and asylum-seeking people in Lewisham. Since then we have produced more than 50 events across grassroots venues, festivals, community projects and workshops.
Every artist we have programmed has been paid. Every artist we platform is underexposed in the music industry: diasporic artists, artists connected to the Global South, women, working-class artists and LGBTQI+ artists.
We have been funded twice by PRS Foundation's Early Career Promoter Fund, selected for Keychange's Talent Leadership Programme, and funded by Southwark Council.
Project grants pay for projects. They rarely pay for the planning, admin, fundraising and partnerships that keep the organisation standing up. That work has mostly been unpaid, and most of it is still done by me.
The match runs through a Match Trading programme with the School for Social Entrepreneurs. Our baseline is zero, so every pound of trading income counts. We are aiming to raise £7,000 by July 2027, the most we can be matched for, which takes us to £14,000.
