Fundraising and Sponsorship

Hertfordshire Band Academy (UK registered Charity No.: 1079924) is managed and operated entirely by volunteers who share the same passion for the growth of music and marching within the community. The band's operations and activities are self-funded via member subscriptions, performances, donations and a significant fundraising effort.

Costs associated with such a band range from rehearsal and performance venues, competition fees, equipment storage, transportation to events, accommodation for trips, new music, new instruments, the upkeep of existing instruments and uniforms, administration costs, and more.

Any support you can provide, whether through donations, fundraising, or sponsorship, is greatly appreciated.

Did you know that whenever you buy anything online – from your weekly shop to your annual holiday – you could be raising free donations for the Hertfordshire Showband?

There are over 8,000 retailers on board ready to make a donation – including eBay, Argos, John Lewis & Partners, ASOS, Booking.com and M&S – and it won’t cost you a penny extra to help us raise funds.
