Please help!

If you share our conviction that music-making is a priceless experience for young people, we would welcome your support and friendship. Please contact us if you might be able to spare a little of your time to help on Friday evenings (not necessarily every week) or at concerts; or might consider joining our committee; or could be involved in fund-raising activities.

If you would like to help but are not sure how, or do not have much time to spare, please talk to us anyway - there will be something useful you can do!
