Wales’ traditional arts are a foundation stone in our nation’s identity. Our music, song, cerdd dant, dance, and storytelling carry and express our distinctive history, languages, culture and way of life. You can help our charity look after and develop this precious heritage. With your support we can continue to reach thousands of people every year at workshops, residential courses and public performances. Our small but dedicated team supports hundreds of musicians, singers, dancers, festivals and folk organisers by providing information and advice to them and to the public. We encourage the next generation of musicians and dancers, provide Artist Development for professional performers, and promote music from Wales at international events. Here are some of the ways you can be part of this. Any contribution you can make, large or small, will play a vital role in helping the music and songs, dance and stories of Wales to flourish. If you are a UK taxpayer, Gift Aiding your donation will make it even more valuable to us.

Trac Cymru aims to make learning and sharing in our cultural heritage as accessible as possible. Our residential courses always offer bursary places for cases of financial hardship; with your help we could do more. You could sponsor a bursary place in your own name, as a memorial to a loved one, or anonymously. You’d be helping a child or young person from a less fortunate family to develop both creatively and socially. Contact us at trac@trac-cymru.org for details of what current activities could benefit from your help.
