Our Brass Bands England Fundraising Service Open Week opens soon! Taking place 30 October - 3 November, BBE member bands will be able to book a 45 minute time slot with our Fundraising Manager Beth Lambert to discuss financial concerns, seek support in creating new fundraising initiatives and source potential new funding pots.
Beth says: “It may feel like a tough time at the moment for fundraising. People are cutting back on their charitable donations and competition for grants is high. With rising costs and pressure to source funds, we wanted to give more bands within our membership the opportunity to access our Fundraising Service now rather than later.”
Updated Fundraising Information Pack
Beth continued: “I’ve also prepared an updated Fundraising Information Pack for 2023/2024, which will be available to member bands free of charge following an initial consultation with myself at no cost. We want to ensure bands are making the most of their BBE membership and accessing all of the free advice and support available to them.”
For those in bands that aren’t currently members, throughout the week we will be sharing further fundraising resources across our social media pages, as well as inspiration for new project ideas and potential funding opportunities. Beth commented: “I hope that this will give everyone a chance to get involved and spend some time focusing on their fundraising tactics.”
