Fund Raising

Introduction

We recognise the sacrifices made by both the members and their parents in giving up their time. We try not to ask them to give up even more time with extra fundraising events.

As a result we usually have to rely on public or corporate donations.
However should a parent or member of the public like to raise additional funds then we would be truly grateful.

BT Community Champions Awards

BT has once again supported the band through it's community champions award scheme. I'm proud to announce that BT has once again recognised Phil's commitment to the band, and awarded £500 towards our ongoing instrument replacement programme.

Over the past 5 years BT has awarded the band a total of £2100. This money has gone along way to replacing the instruments, in particular the five Snare drums. Our thanks and appreciation goes to BT and their on going support.

For more information please visit the BT community champions web site

Scottish & Southern Energy

Scottish & Southern Energy recognised the contribution one of it's employees makes towards the band.

In recognition of Roy's time and commitment to the band the company has awarded the band £1000.

A big thank you goes out to them, this will go along way towards the ongoing replacement of both instruments and uniforms

Instrument Replacement

The band has an on going task of replacing the instruments. When the band was formed back in 1981 it was with second hand instruments. Now a lot of those instruments are starting to wear out and replacements are required. Without the help of donations from the people, organisations and companies listed on this page, this wouldn't be possible. Our thanks and appreciation goes to each and everyone of them.

Open for suggestions!

If any parent or member has an idea on how to raise money please let us know.
As long as it is legal and doesn't put any of the members at risk we will be willing to listen / help.

Ideally, we would like the person with the idea to take the lead with the event and for us (the leaders & members) to support it.
In the past parents have helped the band either on a Wednesday evening or whilst on parade and have then been able to approach their employer for a donation.

Gift Aid

The band is able to claim Gift Aid on all subscriptions.
Where possible, please make sure that you've signed a gift aid form.

This is a help to the band, please help to support us.
