Public benefits

The benefits which flow from purpose 1 include: An appreciation of various types and styles of music. Social interaction with people from all sections and age groups of our community. The building of confidence to appear in public. Physical well being through dance and movement. The benefits are evident through the majority of senior members

renewing their subscriptions and the number of new applications each year. The youth section numbers have to be restricted annually because of the large number of applications. Weekly attendance is recorded with good rates of attendance. Testimonials from the public and nominations for National awards. There is no harm arising from the purpose. The charity's beneficiaries are its members through participation in events and also members of the general public who attend their musical productions. The Society also offers it services to organisations raising funds for other charities. The only private and incidental benefit of this purpose is the development of knowledge, skill and talent for individuals who go on to work in professional theatre.

What your organisation does

1. The Adult section of the Society rehearses weekly between September and May to produce musical concerts and stage musicals. Classes for children between the ages of 8yrs and 18yrs cover a similar time frame. The children are taught singing, dancing and acting by suitable experienced and vetted tutors. They participate in the adult concerts and

have their own theatre production in April/May.
