Major cash boost will let Crieff band scale up
A Crieff band has been given a funding boost to the tune of £500.
Brass Central Strathearn’s development band received funding from the Ross and Liddell community bursary scheme, which aims to provide support to organisations all over the country.
The money received from the property management company will go towards the purchase of more instruments and allow more children to join the 22-member development band, which is open to everyone of any age or ability.
Member Joanne Robertson said: “The funding is very much appreciated and will help the club to continue to develop and grow.
“The band welcomes everyone who wishes to learn an instrument. We have a group full of people at all levels so there is something to suit everyone.”
Rehearsals take place from 5.45-6.30pm on Thursdays at Ardvreck School.
Irene Devenny, managing director of Ross and Liddell, said: “We’re very proud to be providing funding to groups all over Scotland in this year’s community bursary scheme.
“It’s so important that organisations like Brass Central Strathearn have access to funding to ensure that youngsters get the chance to learn musical instruments and socialise together
“We are thrilled to offer our support and know that the funding will be put to good use.”
