Membership
and Company Sponsorship
We are also in contact with local businesses with a view to making
their employees aware of WDCS, to see if they might enjoy singing
and inviting them initially to come along to our rehearsals.
In common with Choral Societies throughout the land, we are always
looking for keen new singers - if you yourself are interested,
please do not hesitate to let us know!
Allied with this,
we have embarked on a programme of Corporate Sponsorship,
whereby we are offering local industrial, commercial and professional
businesses the opportunity to participate, for certain defined
benefits, in the funding of our concert activities, as well as
the engagement of our orchestras and professional soloists. If
you would like to find out more about this programme, or if you
know of a business you feel might be interested in it, please
contact:
Henry Ibberson - 01902 701136 - ibberson@uwclub.net
or

Fund Raising
As part of our future planning, we have linked with an organization
now being used by charities up and down the country, including
Music Societies and Choirs, called easyfundraising.org.uk. Simply
put, this is a Discount Club, supported by all the major stores
and retailers, whereby anybody wishing to purchase anything on-line
can click through a link to easyfundraising.org.uk, then proceed
to the retailer or company of their choice. That retailer/ company/service
provider recognizes our link with the scheme and will then make
a donation to our cause, a small percentage of the cost of the
product or service purchased its that simple and
at no cost whatsoever to us!
Please have a look for yourselves our WDCS cause page
is :-
http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/wdcs
Just click on this link, then go to See how it works
where there is more explanation and a short video. Visit Browse
Retailers to see the ever-growing list of companies supporting
the scheme, which has so far raised nearly £12m for charities
in the UK.
All of us, our family and friends and anyone we know, just by
simply clicking a link and then buying what we/they want in the
normal way, can be raising extra funds for the Choir. Who wouldnt
want to do it?
Give it a go and let Eileen or Henry know what you think,
or if you are having any difficulty!
