Funding

Thank you for visiting the funding page of the Dorking Community Bandstand.

Background

When the idea of a community bandstand was first suggested, clearly funding was an early concern. Our work so far and discussion with those who have recently built or renovated bandstands has shown that we will need to raise around £330,000 to cover the design, build and installation costs of the plinth and the bandstand itself and to cover running and maintenance of the structure going forward in the early years.

Funding Sources

As with many projects of this nature we are seeking to raise funds in a variety of ways:

• capital grants from funding bodies
• crowdfunding via the internet
• community events to both raise funds and profile of the project
• individual and corporate donations
• sponsorship of particular events – especially the Music in Meadowbank events on Sunday afternoons
• selective commercial activities and rental for use of the Bandstand
• sale of promotional merchandise and advertising space

If you feel you could help with any of these ideas or would like to make funds available, please do contact us via the bandstand email address.
