South West travel experts Bakers Dolphin have generously donated £1,000 to a new scheme aimed at enriching the lives of children in North Somerset through the power of music education and performance.

The contribution to Bristol Ensemble's BE Inspired project will bring live orchestral music and interactive learning experiences to 2,000 children in the most deprived parts of North Somerset over the next 12-18 months.

Seeking to bring the transformative power of music to children across the region, particularly those with limited access to cultural activities and music education, the campaign aims to inspire, educate, and cultivate a lifelong appreciation for music among the youth.

Bakers Dolphin, which is based in Weston-super-Mare and with deep roots in North Somerset, says the donation is part of its commitment to making a positive impact in the community.

Amanda Harrington, Sales and Marketing Director at Bakers Dolphin, said: "We are proud to support the BE Inspired project in its mission to make music accessible to more children. The Bristol Ensemble plays an important role in culture and music education in the region and we’re delighted to be a part of their latest scheme.”

Bristol Ensemble is Bristol’s only professional orchestra, bringing a vibrant and varied programme of concerts and events to the region’s major venues. The organisation also runs Preludes Music, an education project which sees children benefit from activities including choir, instrument lessons, orchestras and holiday clubs.

Roger Huckle, Chief Executive of Bristol Ensemble, said "We are delighted to be partnering with Bakers Dolphin on BE Inspired. Their generous support will enable us bring educational and life-enriching musical experiences to children in areas of need across North Somerset."
