Every year, just prior to our AGM in January, members nominate charities they would like us to support in the coming year. All our members then vote for the charity they’d like us to support.
A portion of our performance fees go to our chosen charity and we perform for them at a fundraising or other event. We also increase awareness of the work they do, e.g. by sharing their events and important news on social media.
Our 2019 charity is the Winter Night Shelter MK.
WNSMK provides overnight accommodation to homeless and vulnerable people during the extreme winter months. They also help people into accommodation and work.
There’s more information about what they do and the very real difference they make to peoples’ lives on the Winter Night Shelter MK website and information about upcoming events on their Facebook page.
