Supporting bands in need of emergency funds to survive
Monies in The Brass Bands England Project Fund have been donated to support bands via 2020 The Brass Bands England Emergency Fund campaign and the 2021 Brass Band Project Fund crowdfunding campaign.
Brass Bands England is enormously grateful to everyone who donated to the various campaigns to raise funds for those in need in the community. Now that the COVID crisis is largely behind us, we feel that the most appropriate thing to do now with the remaining funds is to distribute it to remaining projects. We look forward to bands applying and to be able to support our members in their projects.
