DONATE TO OUR CHOSEN CHARITY

We are a not-for-profit organisation - all donations will be passed on to our current chosen charity. From February 2024 we introduced ticketing for our concerts at a cost of £10 per adult (18 or under free) which includes our programme booklet and tea, coffee and biscuits at the interval. The ticket fee is to cover our necessary expenses such as hire of the concert venue, public liability insurance, conductor's fee, publicity and programmes.
 
Each member of our committee and all our orchestral musicians give their time freely and are not paid any fee or expenses so any ticket income in excess of our necessary expenses, and all donations, are paid to the individual charity associated with that concert. Our previous chosen charities and our donations to them can be accessed in our Charities drop down menu. 

To make a donation click on the link below which will take you to our donation page on Sumup. We will inform everyone who has joined our mailing list of the sum raised for our chosen charity following our concert.
