Take it away is a consumer credit scheme providing interest free loans of between £100 - £5,000 for the purchase of musical instruments. It aims to make musical instruments more accessible to children and young people.

To be eligible to apply for a Take it away loan, you must be:

• EITHER an individual over 18 buying an instrument for a child under the age of 18
• OR an individual aged 18-25 years using the scheme to buy an instrument for themselves (or someone else, e.g. as a gift)

​All applicants must also:

• Be a permanent UK resident
• Be working at least 16 hours per week
• Hold a bank or building society account capable of handling direct debit payments
  

Applicants using the scheme to buy an instrument for an under 18 will be required to complete a customer declaration confirming that the recipient of the instrument is a child.

Unfortunately they are not able to support applicants aged 26 or over who are not using the scheme to purchase a musical instrument for an under 18.

Loans are subject to status. Terms and conditions apply.
