The rich diversity of Shropshire Music Trust’s work would simply not be possible without the generous help of individuals who volunteer their time or support us financially – or both. They are vital in helping us achieve our charitable mission to share great music with as many people as possible.
Volunteers
We gratefully acknowledge the huge part played by volunteers in putting on our concerts. We are always in need of people to help with the selling of programmes and the serving of refreshments, and increasingly there is a need for additional stewards. If you feel you would like to get involved at any of our concerts this season, please contact Chris Stephens (
Supporters Scheme
We no longer receive any regular funding from local authorities or the Arts Council, so we need your help more than ever to help maintain the high quality of concerts and to engage thousands of people each year both in the main Season and in Outreach projects for the young, elderly and disadvantaged.
You may not realise that our annual box office income cannot cover the full cost and on its own accounts for only about 80% of the money needed each year to sustain our programme of work. We therefore require additional funds to deliver this and keep great music in Shropshire flowing.
