Havering Music Makers

Charity Performances


"... a wonderful evening and a magnificent performance ... the evening was a huge success and raised £500 for the children's charity Whizz-Kidz."

- Diana Huskie on behalf of Whizz-Kidz.

If you are a charity, or are raising funds for a charity, Havering Music Makers would like to hear from you. We have given performances of many of our concerts for charities such as:

The Friends of St. Francis Hospice • Y-Care • CLIC • The Hospice Care Trust
Havering Talking Newspapers • Havering Shopmobility • Whizz-Kidz

Some of these have been presented locally (Essex) while others have been as far afield as Devon (Combe Martin, twice), Cornwall (Falmouth, twice) and Wales (Swansea).


We provide:

A full cast of actors, singers and dancers.

Entertainment - one or more performances of one of our concerts.

Backstage staff including lighting and sound operators.

Artwork for advertising the show (eg. posters, mailshot) and for tickets and programmes.


You provide:

An audience.

A hall or theatre, including appropriate facilities (eg. chairs, lighting, piano).

Front-of-house staff - programme sellers, ticket collectors, refreshments, etc.

Copying/printing and distribution of advertising materials to the public and/or your usual contacts and supporters.


We cost:

Nothing


Your charity gains:

Whatever you can raise from selling tickets, programmes, refreshments, raffle tickets etc. - less any costs. (As a charity you may be able to get a hall provided free or at reduced cost and local companies may assist with other costs.)

The success of these trips - and the amount you can raise for your cause - is limited only by your ability to sell tickets. (If you are a Residential Home, Hospice or similar organisation it may be practical for us to perform "in-house" for you.)

A local performance can sometimes be arranged within a matter of weeks, but for more distant venues, we need to plan a year or so ahead. We arrange a short holiday in the area - which our members pay for - and they need to plan ahead. For this reason, we generally stage "away" shows either at Easter or a Bank Holiday weekend.

For further information, please email nick@haveringmusicmakers.co.uk.

NON-CHARITY PERFORMANCES: If you are not a charity but would like us to present a show for you - either solely for entertainment or for your own fundraising - we would still like to hear from you. (Depending on the details of your proposal, either a joint venture or a donation to our funds may be appropriate.)
