  • Help with refreshment

    Help with refreshment

    By helping with refreshments you give band members the opportunity to socialise together in break time while raising funds for instruments, equipment, tours and much more. It can be fun and lead to lasting friendships. For safeguarding volunteers must be parents/carers of band members.

    We use an online rota and reminder tool to organise our refreshment volunteering.  It’s called SignUp and works in 3 easy steps:

    1) Click this 2021/22 link to see our SignUp page https://signup.com/go/sviddKk

    2) Review the options listed and choose the spot(s) you like.

    3) Sign up! It’s easy – you will NOT need to register an account or keep a password on SignUp and it does not share your email address with anyone.

    Please share this link with other band parent friends and encourage them to join you so that we spread the workload and so it doesn’t always fall to the same kind hearts: https://signup.com/go/sviddKk
