Donate equipment. Enable young creatives.

Kit Bank is a community-powered initiative that collects used musical instruments, home studio gear and film making equipment — and puts them in the hands of passionate young people who need them most.

Whether it’s a keyboard collecting dust or a mic you’ve outgrown, your donation can open up a world of creativity, confidence, and opportunity.

Why Donate?

Like a food bank, Kit Bank is designed to give young creatives with significant barriers in their lives the opportunity to develop their art form at home or in their community space. Through our long-term partnership programmes with Lyrix Organix, Romsey Mill, Anglia Ruskin University, YMCA, and other youth support charities, we will ensure your equipment will go straight to young people who need it!

What we accept:

• Microphones, audio interfaces, studio monitors, headphones and other studio equipment
• Guitars, basses, keyboards, drums
• DJ controller, MIDI keyboards, trigger pads
• DSL Cameras, gimbles, tripods
• Cables, stands, other accessories
• MacBook, iMac, other laptops
• Unlocked iPhones or smartphones

You can also support Kit Bank by making a financial donation.

Here’s are some examples of what your donations could provide to a young person:

• £1 – donation towards equipment
• £10 – USB, XLR cable
• £25 – guitar strings, microphone stand, studio monitor headphones
• £50 – midi keys, phone gimbal

“We are excited to launch the Kit Bank initiative which aims to make essential equipment accessible to young artist who experience barriers in their lives. Donating equipment or financial support to the scheme will give young people we work with the opportunity to develop their art form, outside of the walls of a workshop space, as they begin their careers in the creative industries.”
