Resources For Organisers

There is no one-size-fits-all solution for planning your project or improving accessibility, but there are resources available to help you:

On these pages, you’ll find links to resources that provide information and toolkits on a variety of topics. These websites have been recommended to us by people like you – that is, people who have an interest in folk song and increasing access to folk singing. If you know of other resources that aren’t listed here but that are helpful to other prospective organisers, please get in touch with your recommendation(s).

None of the links are sponsored. Access Folk takes no responsibility for the content of linked sites.
