Free Now x MVT
Under the Ride for Music campaign, FREENOW’s goal is to raise a guaranteed minimum of £200,000 (USD $243,000) to bolster venues hit hard by the cost-of-living crisis. This initiative targets venues that may not have access to other forms of financial aid.
Teaming up with Music Venue Trust (MVT), which represents hundreds of grassroots music venues in the UK , FREENOW riders can now ‘opt in’ during their trips. By doing so, £1 of their ride cost will be sent directly to the charity at no extra expense to the rider.
