Investment in Uniforms and instruments for juvenile and adult learners joining the band

We are a long established local charity based in Helensburgh with members across Lomond and Clyde area for the last 2 years we have played at the Helensburgh November Fireworks display but not charged an appearance fee. Instead we are applying for some modest funding towards the supply of uniforms and instruments. The money will go directly towards buying kilts, sporrans etc as well drum skins, bagpipe reeds and other sundries for learners joining the band. We receive some annual support from our sponsor the Colquhouns of Luss but the majority of our costs are recovered through appearance fees at local events. We also play regularly in the town through the summer to entertain the people of Helensburgh and visitors

Who Benefits

The playing members of the band will benefit by receiving smart functional uniforms and equipment. Additional people who also benefit would be the 400 or so we play to over the summer in Colqhoun square (4 evenings with 100+ noted watching each time)
