Milngavie Choir - how you can support us

You are our audience

Supporting the choir is many-faceted. First of all, for a choir to come into its own, it needs an audience. While we enjoy practising, rehearsals are only really meaningful when they lead to a successful performance and all performances require an audience. So first of all, we invite you to come and listen to us. We perform several times over the year with our two main concerts around Christmas time and just before Easter. These will be well advertised in the community and also, of course, on this website. 

Fundraising

Secondly, while we are a strictly voluntary organisation, we do need some cash to keep us going. We pay both our musical director and accompanying pianist a modest fee for all their hard work. We also need to buy our music scores and pay for the hire of the Church Hall where we practise and the venues where we perform. Money is also needed for the soloists, orchestras and instrumentalists who join us for some of our concerts. We hold various fundraising events during the year and these will be advertised around the community and here on our website. 

Webshop 

Thirdly, on an on-going basis you can help us raise funds by using our webshop to connect into online shopping websites. With the help of an organisation called Perfiliate Technologies Limited, we have set up a special programme to shop online from the network of well-known affiliated businesses that Perfiliate Technologies Limited have set up. It is easy to use and it doesn't require any cash or time investment on your part, should you agree to help us. 

All it needs is for you to shop and buy occasionally from one of the affiliated companies via our own designated web portal. Goods on offer vary from books and CDs, to flowers, chocolates, electricals and electronics, clothing, travel, and even banking services. All the companies are well known and also trade on the High Street. The difference is that when you buy via our web portal a percentage of the cash you spend with the affiliated sponsors will be put into an account set up for the choir - without it costing you a penny extra. To find out more, please link to our Webshop  page.
