How do they help?

Foos Yer Doos Sing Song Club

Where will your money go?

How would £3000 help?

Continue to rent St Mary's Centre, allowing the group to meet weekly

Allow the group to get better technological facilities in order to improve karaoke sessions

Additional funds for tea and coffee breaks, musician weekly fees, extra funds for new ideas/growth

Joy Doorghen: organiser

"We get no funding from a statutory body, we have to apply to different organisations for the £3000 per annum that we need"

Thanks for your attention!
