0 New sponsor – Co-operative Group Community Fund
We are delighted to announce that the Co-operative Group Community Fund has decided to award the band the sum of £2000, towards instruments and music for our Learner Band.
This is a hugely generous donation that will enable us to be even more active and generous towards the growing number of learners joining and playing with Blewbury Brass Band.
We encourage you to visit http://www.co-operative.coop/membership/local-communities/ to find out more about the Co-operative Group’s support of local communities. We would also encourage you to shop at their food shops in Didcot, Ladygrove, Steventon, Wantage, Abingdon, Berinsfield, Dorchester and Benson!
