We are really excited to see donations coming in for the aStepFWD Crowdfunder PLAY IT FWD.  You may have seen a number of UK Christian and Gospel artists ‘Paying it FWD’ on our social media as we raise awareness around this fundraiser.

We have a burning desire to make a real difference by spreading the gospel through music and would love for you to partner with us. Our aim is simple: to increase awareness of UK gospel and contemporary music within both Christian and secular spaces by producing high-quality media content/ shows on TV & radio and digital platforms to highlight and support talented artists.

Over the last 6 years astepfwd.com has become the one stop shop and home to the most diverse and comprehensive listing of Christian & Gospel artists and industry professionals in the United Kingdom through our curation of the UK Christian Charts.  We have recognised that although there is a lot of great Christian/ God edifying music being made in the UK, there is limited support and resources to deliver this wealth of content to the fingertips of music enthusiasts, both in the Christian and secular space. This also affects the artists as it prevents them from being able to completely focus on their craft while trying to make ends meet.

We have several key objectives that we aim to fulfil over the next 12 months that will help us to continue to support the spreading of the gospel through music and we would love for you to partner with us to achieve these, namely:

• Registration of A Step FWD as a recognised, non-profit charity in the UK

• Invest money to overhaul and improve the UK Christian Charts experience

• Youth Development – To set up a bursary scheme to help at least 15 artists

• Radio Shows – Syndicated radio shows to partner with the best station globally audience

• TV/ Video – Shows on TV and digital platforms to highlight and support talented artists

We know. It’s a lot. And we hope it excites you as much as us! We have a great team of over 100 volunteers spanning across Europe, Africa and Asia and have no doubt that we can build on our track record in the music industry and continue to make a real difference! If you believe in what we do and would like to partner with us to achieve our vision, we would appreciate it if you can donate via our JustGiving platform.

Your financial support, combined with the strength and diversity of the aStepFWD team will help us achieve our goal- to put Christian and Gospel music on the map so we can inspire the Christian and also reach the unconverted.
