Friends of Wolverhampton Music Service
Dear Richard and Brian
I write to thank you for your very kind donation of £300 from the Rotary Club of the City of Wolverhampton to the Friends of Wolverhampton Music Service, which will enable the Friends to support the Music School’s Italian Tour in July 2023. This is a wonderful opportunity for our young musicians to perform in great venues as well as enjoying time together and taking in the sights and culture of the country.
As a registered charity, FOWMS aims to support the participation of school age children.from all backgrounds and all part of Wolverhampton, in music learning, performance, appreciation and enjoyment by providing financial and other assistance to the Wolverhampton Music Service.
FOWMS provides this support to Wolverhampton Music Service so that as many children as possible are able to take part in a wide range of musical activities, fundraising to provide for equipment and other materials for which the Music Service receives no funding.
Currently, Wolverhampton Music Service:
- Teaches over 5,500 children every week in Wolverhampton schools on over 30 different instruments;
- Has over 50 years’ experience of nurturing and celebrating young lives of school children across Wolverhampton through musical experiences;
- Provides over 3,000 musical instruments on long term loan, at no extra cost to parents or schools; and,
- Runs 13 progressive bands, orchestras and ensembles outside the school day, at no extra cost to parents, for children to develop their playing and progress with others.
If you would like further information about the charity or our work, please contact me using the details provided below.
Thank you again for your continuing support to the Friends of Wolverhampton Music Service, it is very much appreciated.
Yours sincerely
