PRS Members' Fund

PRS Members' Fund The PRS Members’ Fund provides financial support and advice to PRS members, ex-members and their families in times of need.

If you, or someone you know can benefit from our support, get in touch now to see if you’re eligible. The PRS Members' Fund was formed in 1934 to support songwriters and composers during the Great Depression. Over 80 years later we continue to be there for PRS for Music members and their dependants in times of crisis, thanks to the generosity of our supporters. We all know the music business can b

e unpredictable and demanding, and even after periods of success it can be precarious with no guarantee of earnings. This means that when crisis hits such as illness, accident or emotional breakdown, there may be no safety net. We provide financial help to PRS for Music members, ex-members, and their immediate families in times of financial difficulty or when they are unable to work because of illness, accident or disability.
