We have been educating and entertaining the community for 50 years. We are looking for support for a 50th anniversary concert and social event to celebrate our community and legacy.
Project Description
We are seeking £1,000 in grant funding to support our 50th anniversary celebrations, which will include a commemorative concert and a social gathering. The events will honour our long-standing contribution to the community and provide an inclusive opportunity for members and audience past and present to reconnect and celebrate.
Funding will help cover key costs such as venue hire, conductor/tutor fees, new music, refreshments, and entertainment.
Total costs will well exceed £1,000, so grant support would enable us to subsidise suggested ticket prices/donation and ensure broad participation.
This milestone offers a unique moment to reflect on our legacy and invest in our future, and we would be deeply grateful for your support.
We have provided key facts about our organisation as an attached document. But as an overview, Irvine and Dreghorn Brass is North Ayrshire’s only community brass band organisation and was established in 1975/76. We gained charitable status in 1994.
