Belvedere
Concert Band has always been a keen and proactive supporter of local charities,
and over the last 5 years has helped raise over £30,000 from concert
proceeds.
A favourite charity of the Band has been The Ellenor Foundation which
provides hospice care in the home. In addition, the Band members
give their time freely to concerts at Christmas to help raise funds for
such charities as the Greenwich & Bexley Cottage Hospice and Demelza
House Children’s Hospice as well as performing at special church
services and other fund-raising events.
In July 2009 Belvedere Concert Band joined forces with the Royal Artillery
Band, together with guest vocalist Shane Hampsheir, to perform a grand
charity concert ‘Music For Heroes’ to a packed audience at
The Orchard Theatre, Dartford raising over £12,000 for the two charities
– Help for Heroes and EllenorLions Hospices.
