Well, it’s been four and a half years that we are very happy are over. Covid of course. Then long covid. Then cancer. All meaning that our primary funding paused, and we have been very quiet as a result.

Every six months or so we meet with one of our grantees to talk with them about the brilliant work they’re doing, in a little more depth than time usually allows. It’s always completely inspiring. Click on the image above to find out more about the fabulous work that Rowan - one of the projects we supported in our fourth round of funding - is doing…

It’s Tuesday 18th September, and we’re delighted to announce that we’re open again for funding applications! This is our sixth round of funding since we launched in 2013, and if you’re creating a project using sound or music for social good that needs funding, we’d love to hear from you.

Are you involved in creative music making that makes a positive impact on people’s lives, or looking for extra funding to start new projects or extend your work? If you’re based in Cambridgeshire and you know of or run a local, music-based, project that needs support, we want to hear from you. 

We are HUGELY grateful to the lovely Claire Debenham for running the Cambridge Half Marathon for us in March and raising a whopping £500 as a result, not to mention the fact that she was just recovering from a bout of nasty flu!

A Dosoco grant in 2015 enabled Cambridge Community Arts to expand its range of courses for adult learners to include guitar lessons. To date 60 people have benefited from the opportunity, with the grant supporting two of our key aims – music access and music education.  In our first 'insider' case study, we take a look at the brilliant work that CCA carries out, and how our funding has helped.

We've just awarded six more grants, totalling over £3000, to Cambridgeshire based projects using music for social good.  Click through to find out more about them and the fabulous work they're doing.  And it looks like we may have just raised another £1500... more on that soon!

We were massively chuffed to be featured on Cambridge TV on Weds 30 March about our fourth round of grants... and delighted to hear from Beth McCabe of Cambridge Community Arts - one of the projects we funded. Click through to find out more and see the short video.

A project using sound-enhanced tennis balls to enable visually impaired people to play tennis is just one of four fantastic Cambridgeshire-based projects that we've been lucky enough to  support through our third round of Dosoco funding - announced at the latest Dowsing Sound Collective gig on 25 July (pictured) - with a combined total of £2000.  Click to find out more!
