Music Zone can play on after drive

The Devonport-based organisation had been threatened with closure but now has enough cash to keep it going until March 2026.

In October, the charity said it urgently needed cash to prevent it shutting for good by the end of November.

But after an urgent plea, and an appeal for support on the fundraising sire JustGiving, PMZ now has enough money to cover the £11,000 it needs each month to keep it going.

The charity's chair of trustees Chris Hunt and music programme director Karl Meyer have now issued a statement to say the charity is now financially secure.
