Donations and grants 

St David’s Brass Band acknowledges and thanks all the donors and grant funders that are helping us to refurbish our dilapidated rehearsal premises. There was a mountain to climb but the end is finally in sight.  Without their support it would have not been possible.

A Discretionary Legacy was given anonymously and, at various times, three donations were given anonymously and we are extremely grateful for the unexpected generosity of each one.
