“While 2020 has been phenomenally difficult and there are many challenges ahead, it’s in such times that we need community and common purpose. Thank you for supporting each other, the Academy, and for uniting in our collective purpose to create a positive future for songwriters and composers.”

Academy Chair Crispin Hunt and CEO Graham Davies

We are very grateful to our partners, members, staff, Board and Committee members. Without you none of our progress to be a strong, influential, diverse and supportive Academy would have been possible.

The review gives an update on our campaigns, work to champion equality and inclusion, the incredible songwriters and composers who have been recognised with Ivor Novello Awards, the support available as a member and updates from our Committees.
