'the advancement of education','the advancement of the arts, heritage, culture or science','the provision of recreational facilities, or the organisation of recreational activities, with the object of improving the conditions of life for the persons for whom the facilities or activities are primarily intended'

We provide regular rehearsals throughout the year to help with the continuous development of musicians of varying standards and ages. We are a community band with no auditions although all members must be able to read music and have achieved basic proficiency on their instrument. Although we give two ticketed concerts each year in order to raise funds the majority of our concerts operate at a loss and are in line with our ethos to bring music to the community wherever that may be eg hospitals, care homes etc, or where we are asked to provide music for other organisations event.

Beneficiaries: 'No specific group, or for the benefit of the community'

Objectives: The objects of the Band are, through rehearsal and performance of works of music of all kinds, and by presentation of public concerts and recitals: a. to support the community. b. to promote, improve and advance the musical education of the Band members and the public at large. c. to provide recreation, both in rehearsals and performances, for Band members and the public at large. d. to engage in other charitable activities aligned to and corresponding with these objects.
