Take it away

Take it away provides interest free loans to individuals for the purchase of musical instruments, equipment and software.

We offer the scheme through our network of over 130 music shops across England and Northern Ireland, made possible with the support of Arts Council England and Arts Council of Northern Ireland.

Take it away is operated by Creative United, a not-for-profit Community Interest Company, and funded by Arts Council England.

Our aims are to increase access to buying musical instruments and equipment, whilst also supporting specialist music shops to remain an essential part of local music services across the country.
