The World Heart Beat Music Academy envisions a world where music bridges cultural, political, economic and linguistic barriers. We aim to inspire a passion for playing musical instruments and influence a generation of often alienated young people. We provide music tuition and personal development opportunities to over 260 children and young people between the ages of 5 and 24 years, who are based in Wandsworth and the surrounding London boroughs. Many of our students come from a range of challenging backgrounds. Some are the main carer for parents or siblings, some come from households with a history of drug addiction and alcohol abuse, some are classified as not in education, employment or training (NEET) and many are recent migrants and refugees, often moving into the UK without their parents or guardians. Many have difficulties engaging in school and finding employment when they are older. From our discussions with students, community leaders and teachers, we have learned that these young people are also less likely to engage with learning music and, therefore, unable to benefit from the social and personal development resulting from such activities. We provide students with tangible and useful experiences to develop their skills and build confidence, raise their aspirations and enable them to pursue whatever career they choose, in music or otherwise.

Funds are raised in the UK, largely from individual supporters, albeit the trust also receives some modest donations from donors in USA, Australia, Europe who are connected to the work. In order to deliver public benefit the charity partners with an entirely separately governed Zimbabwe registered trust/NGO "Makomborero Zimbabwe" - MZIM which receives grants directly from the UK, and fundraises within Zimbabwe and internationally (a Memorandum of Understanding is in place between the two organisations to support governance/control). At present the UK trust contributes c.50% of the Zimbabwe trusts income and operating costs (total annual budget in Zimbabwe is c.$250k pa) The Zimbabwean Trust, Makomborero Zimbabwe, was set up in 2011 by Mark and Laura Albertyn, to provide A-level education to talented students from orphaned and very challenging backgrounds. These students, study their A-levels at our partner private schools, Hellenic, Gateway and St George's, in Harare. The schools collectively give full tuition scholarships for 16 students each year. We ensure that the students are well provided with academic support, pastoral care and love to fulfil their academic potential and hopefully eventually give back to their own communities. The scholarships are life changing, for the individual students and their families. The purpose of Makomborero Zimbabwe is to provide educational support to academically gifted students who might have otherwise dropped out of school, due to the parents' economic hardships or death of a breadwinner in the family. Makomborero provides the financial support and aims to provide a holistic environment for the students to successfully complete their A level education and proceed to tertiary education. The team goes out to 70 - 80 high density and rural schools in Zimbabwe with applications and the students undergo a rigorous testing process. The top 8 students are awarded full scholarships while a further 16 are financially supported through local government schools.
