Our Charities
The Hustle Collective was born out of realising the power that music and art have to change lives and bring communities together. By putting good causes at the heart of our festivals, we've seen over 19 years now how different people, playing different styles of music, and offering a wide variety of different talents, will enthusiastically come together, time and time again, for something bigger.
Raising thousands of pounds every year for vital local charities is what makes The Hustle so much more than just a party. These positive, hard-working folk give us purpose, hope, and the motivation to grow and get more people involved every year. Along with the talented folk of the Notts creative community, they're our founding inspiration. Organisations like these do so much to hold our community together and give local people a chance to live their best lives. They are what make Nottingham such a caring, vibrant place to live in.
We hope that in shining a light on the work of more of these excellent local organisations, you'll find at least one that you'll love and connect with and keep wanting to support beyond the event. Please help us get behind them and amplify their crucial work.
