A donation to The Flowers Band will support the ongoing quality of our performances, assist us with meeting costs such as the purchase of new music, travel to competitions, venue hire, and more, and support our work in the community, such as offering discount tickets to under 16’s so that they can experience the thrill of a top class brass band without a cost barrier. We also regularly lead masterclasses with community bands, and perform in fundraising concerts for other local charities such as Young Gloucestershire and Maggie’s Cancer Care.
As a registered charity which receives no public funding, we rely on donations and income from performances to support us. Every donation, no matter the size, makes an enormous difference. Thank you for your support.
