In the charity's own words
We are a chamber choir, funded mostly by members' subscriptions with some small income from concerts and donations. We give up to 6 concerts a year, mostly in churches in the Cotswold area. We like to work in partnership with other organisations to support local concerns and are currently aiming to increase our audiences to make this more financially rewarding for our partners.
