The registered charity, Concertina makes grants to charitable bodies that provide musical entertainment and related activities for the elderly.

The charity is particularly keen to support smaller organisations that might otherwise find it difficult to gain funding.

These include funds to many care homes for the elderly to provide musical entertainment for their residents.
