When we are performing, we often collect voluntary donations from our audience and we sometimes perform for a fee for private events.
We do not operate for profit and any surplus is donated annually to our chosen charitable cause. On some occasions, such as Boxing Day and New Year's Day, we donate the full amount taken to our nominated charity.
The money collected is used to cover our operating costs, such as the hire of our practice venue, new costume for new members and repairs to existing kit and publicity printing costs.
We decide at our AGM each year which will be our nominated charity for the following year.
