If we manage to reach £6000 we would be over the moon. Don’t forget even a very small donation will be doubled and we really do need your help.
Everyone who has already donated has helped us to construct a very much needed disabled loo, which of course will be available for all our audience to use. Thank you all very much.

We need your help to construct

A PERMANENT DISABLED-ACCESS TOILET AT THE SCARR BANDSTAND

We want EVERYONE to be able to come to the Scarr Bandstand, as audience, performers or volunteers. So we need to raise funds for a toilet with good disabled access. This will be a vandal-proof composting toilet; no horrible chemicals to spill. We will also save money as we will only need to hire an additional 'Portaloo' very occasionally for theatre shows to help with queues during the interval.

We are over half way to our goal now. Amazing achievement. Perhaps we can go further and reach £5000. Just a small donation will be doubled so even a fiver will help.
Thank you very much to those who have already donated.

Just a reminder to let you know that, sadly, the Scarr Bandstand Hymn and March Contest on 5th September has been CANCELLED due to lack of entries.
So there will be no event on 5th September. Do please pass this message on to anyone who was planning on coming to enjoy the brass bands on that day.
We intend to run a contest next year, on Saturday 17th July. We hope that we can encourage enough bands to enter, so that the Forest has a band competition like other parts of the country with a strong tradition of brass bands.
