At the Oh Yeah Centre we are passionate about opening doors to music. Whilst we are famous as a venue, exhibition and rehearsal space, our work is so much more than this. We engage with communities from Belfast and beyond to deliver music programmes that provide a creative outlet, respite, companionship, and training and development opportunities for people aged from 0 to 100.

This vital outreach works relies on funding which is under increasing pressure, with Northern Ireland ranking as region with the poorest arts funding in the UK and Ireland - only £5.07 on arts funding per head of population in 2023/24 compared to £10.51 spent in Wales and £21.58 in the Republic of Ireland.

And so, we need your help. If you or your organisation believe, as we do, that music is central to moving the dial on mental health, wellbeing and prosperity in Northern Ireland, please support our work.
