Our Supporters

We are so proud to be supported by UK music charity The Royal Society of Musicians who, since 1738, have provided musicians with funding for mental or physical healthcare needs

Rebecca Driver – communications expert and founder, RDMR

“Hattie Butterworth and Rebecca Toal are a breath of fresh air. It is such a joy to have young female voices that are knowledgeable, eloquent and prepared to speak about topics that are challenging and difficult and often entirely ignored. TMDTA is really wide-ranging and such an engaging listen.”

Letty Stott – Head of Performance, Wells Cathedral School

“We were delighted to welcome TMDTA to lead a Music Seminar for our Specialist musicians. Both Becca and Hattie spoke with warmth and honesty to pupils and their open approach was extremely well-received. We hope that Hattie and Becca will come back to continue helping to support WCS pupils in the future in this extremely important area.”
